October 1916. Margaret Sanger opens the first clinic for birth control in the United States. Her struggle for the self-determination of women continued for years. She was arrested, taken to court, thrown into prison - and yet she never gave up her passionate fight against the repressive laws in the USA. Using old and current film clips, photos, restaged scenes, and an abundance of video effects the story of Margaret Sanger is told in an entertaining and often humorous way - especially her strategies for using the media in support of her cam-paign. An unusual documentary.
