96 min Watch NowDocumentary
A look at the impact of an already very precarious maternal health state in the U.S. post-rescinding of Roe v. Wade, via the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, reversing rights that women have been working so hard to fight for, and that will actually have a deep impact that we can't even see just yet in terms of the numbers of mortality and trauma as a result of those very draconian policies.

IMDB 7 | Nov , 1984
Women have always sought ways to terminate unwanted pregnancies, despite powerful patriarchal structures and systems working against them. This film provides a historical overview of how church, state and the medical establishment have determined policies concerning abortion.

The story of The Satanic Temple, a controversial movement that combines religion and activism with the apparent purpose of questioning the basic foundations of US society.Misery and Fortune of Woman
IMDB 6.5 | Feb , 1930
This film shows contrasting views of women with problematic pregnancies and the outcomes resulting when they seek out a back-alley abortionist, a trained and licensed abortion provider in a clinic, or an obstetrician capable of performing a Caesarian Section. The full film appears to be lost, but shortened versions, including one with dialogue scenes added in Germany in 1935, can be found on the internet. Additionally, Eisenstein's role in making the picture remains unclear: did he direct some or all of it, just edit it, or merely leave it to Alexandrov and Tisse to make? Released in the USA 1930 in a 65 minute (5800 ft.) version with English intertitles and a music track under the title BIRTH.The Janes
IMDB 5.6 | May , 2022
Defying the state legislature that outlawed abortion, the Catholic Church that condemned it, and the Chicago Mob that was profiting from it, the members of “Jane” risked their personal and professional lives to support women with unwanted pregnancies. In the pre-Roe v. Wade era — a time when abortion was a crime in most states and even circulating information about abortion was a felony in Illinois — the Janes provided low-cost and free abortions to an estimated 11,000 women.Reversing Roe

Documentary that delves deep into the history of abortion law, revealing the contradictory ways in which women's bodies have been used to further political and ideological agendas.Abortion: Desperate Choices
IMDB 5.3 | May , 1992
An intensely personal exploration of an explosive issue -- abortion in America. Wrenching first-person narratives from seven decades of women, each one facing an unplanned pregnancy -- and the dreadful decision that no one wants to make. Both pro-life and pro-choice, both out front on the picket line and inside the clinic, these women's stories turn politics into heart-searing drama: a pregnant 17-year-old and her pro-life mother whose conflict unfolds in front of the camera; a 22-year-old who became a pro-life protester when she learned that her mother nearly aborted her; an unhappy mother-of-two who's expecting a third when her marriage suddenly hits the rocks; a 71-year-old grandmother who still grieves for her mother, an early victim of illegal abortion. In this fusion of past and present, the history of abortion is the history of women -- told at a time in America when yesterday's back-alley abortions may be the only choice left for tomorrow.Shouting Down Midnight

IMDB 0 | Apr , 2010
This jaw-dropping exposé goes beyond Planned Parenthood’s deceptive public guise and takes a look at its dark underbelly.

IMDB 4.3 | Sep , 2011
180 (2011) boldly confronts abortion as modern genocide. Ray Comfort uses Holocaust imagery—11 million murdered under Hitler—to expose ignorance via street interviews, asking if people would kill baby Hitler. He then equates 50M+ U.S. abortions to the "American Holocaust," forcing viewers to face the moral horror of child-killing. No evasion: equates elective abortion with premeditated murder of innocent image-bearers. Powerful pro-life wake-up call from Living Waters, ending with urgent repentance. Uncompromising truth exposing bloodguilt. (33 min)Bumpa

This documentary will explore the Afro-Caribbean dance, ‘whining’ alongside the practice of twerking to analyze respectability politics, pressures to accommodate whiteness, and gendered criticism of sexual expression within the Black diaspora. Using archival footage of West African dance, expert opinion from dancing and gender studies professors, and the active participation of partygoers in a dance experiment, Watkins will paint the picture of the defiance, autonomy, and ancestral veneration intrinsic to these traditional movement styles.
