Children of the Decree (Dax Experiment 770: Gebahren Auf Gefehl) (Dec 01 2005 01:56 GMT) - Film Reviews: Florin Iepan's startling docu "Children of the Decree" explores the plight of women under Romanian strongman Nicolae Ceaucescu's infamous Decree 770, which banned birth control and abortion.

This feminist rallying cry and zingy piece of filmmaking should be assured a small-screen niche. |
