Beyond the Politics of Life and Choice: A New Conversation About Abortion (2010)

This timely and exceptionally thought-provoking documentary moves the contentious debate over abortion out from behind politicized battle lines and into a compassionate and sensitive space, where people with opposing views can meet to better understand the deep concerns of one another. The film weaves together thoughtful and eloquent commentary by activists, legal experts, theologians, seminarians, college students, service providers, and women for whom the decision to terminate or not to terminate a pregnancy has been a formative event in their lives. All bring admirable nuance and insight to a subject often avoided and fraught with prejudice, stereotypes, tension, and fear.
