In a dystopian United States, a woman who does not give birth to a healthy living baby is immediately sentenced to execution.

Labor + Justice is an award winning short film from writer/ director Sarah Joy Byington. This dark and surreal, genre-bending drama contrasts a calamitous political system against women cruelly stripped of any reproductive rights and body autonomy. Featuring stunning black & white cinematography and powerful, gripping performances, Labor and Justice delivers a thought-provoking exploration of women’s rights, intersecting with themes of race, class, and religion.
