ROSITA
dir. Barbara Attie, Janet Goldwater, 2005, Nicaragua/USA, 55min
Completed in 2005, two years after the rape and pregnancy of a nine year-old Nicaraguan girl in Costa Rica, Rosita documents the political, social, and religious sentiment surrounding Rosita’s situation and the issue of abortion in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Maria and Francisco, Rosita’s parents, moved their small family from Nicaragua to Costa Rica to find work and ended up facing a battle in both countries in which abortion is illegal. After the family’s tireless struggle, doctors perform an abortion for Rosita following the legal exception for abortion when the life of the mother is in danger. Many claimed that Rosita’s abortion should not have happened, including the Nicaraguan Cardinal who excommunicated all those involved with the abortion. Rosita’s story reached people throughout Latin America and Europe who came together in support of the young victim, speaking against the authorities of the government and the Church.
