Citizen Ruth

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a polarized corner of America, we find Ruth, a misfit woman trapped in a cycle of addiction and poor choices. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers she is pregnant, and after being arrested for a minor offense, she is forced to confront a master key she has no idea how to handle: her body and the life growing inside her. The news of her pregnancy catches the attention of two opposing factions: a pro-life group determined to save the baby and a pro-choice organization offering support for her to take control of her own fate.

As Ruth navigates the extremes of both sides, she becomes a target of manipulation and exploitation. Each group sees her situation as an opportunity to promote their own agenda, turning her into a symbol rather than recognizing her as the person she is. However, what Ruth truly wants is the freedom to make her own choices, even though her skills to navigate the world around her are limited.

With a mix of dark humor and harsh reality, this story explores themes like reproductive rights, the struggle for autonomy, and the emotional cost of the labels imposed by society. Ruth becomes the unexpected protagonist of a cultural battle that transforms her while she also discovers her own strengths and weaknesses in a world that seems to misunderstand her, all while seeking a way to find her voice amid the noise.
