Join us on Saturday, October 11, for a screening by The Abortion Clinic Film Collective, a group of feminist filmmakers with diverse backgrounds and distinctive styles who came together from around the country in the wake of the overturning of Roe v Wade. In the ACFC series, we hear from medical directors and staff, mothers and daughters, criminal defense attorneys and advocates, about how their personal and professional lives have been affected post-Dobbs. Each portal provides a window into the broad and life-threatening ramifications of that Supreme Court decision and its devastating legacy for the health and well-being of our country and people.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmakers Cali M. Banks, Lori Felker, KellyGallagher, Kristy Guevara-Flanagan, Đoan Hoàng, Luiza Parvu, Raymond Rea, Lynne Sachs, and Sasha Waters.
About:
The ACFC was born out of rage. After the overturn of Roe V Wade and the end to a woman’s federal right to abortion, I began reaching out to filmmakers from across the country. I asked if they would contribute to a project looking at the impact from different states’ perspectives, especially in those areas most affected. The Abortion Clinic Film Collective was born. In haste and with limited access to resources, seven films were created focusing on states from Arizona to Tennessee, South Dakota to Texas, and beyond.
