Statistic (1983)

'Who needs a pregnant waitress?' is just one of the questions that fills Ellie Connolly's mind when she discovers she is pregnant in 1980s Ireland. Statistic was made by film student Alison Kelly in 1983, the year which saw the passing of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution Act (which effectively criminalised abortion in most circumstances).  Ellie (Edel McCrann) is pregnant as "the result of a drunken screw between two people who hardly knew each other".  She broods in her flat and discusses her predicament with her good friend Anne – she must tell her boyfriend Paul but she knows 'In the end it's inside me, not him'.  She finds information in a magazine about abortion services in the UK and Anne accompanies her to the ferry – following the footsteps of the many women before her.
