“Birthright: A War Story” is a feature length documentary that examines how women are being jailed, physically violated and even put at risk of dying as a radical movement tightens its grip across America.
The film tells the story of women who have become collateral damage in the aggressive campaign to take control of reproductive health care and to allow states, courts and religious doctrine to govern whether, when and how women will bear children.
The documentary explores the accelerating gains of the crusade to control pregnant women and the fallout that is creating a public health crisis, turning pregnant women into criminals and challenging the constitutional protections of every woman in America.
This is the real-life “Handmaid’s Tale.”
The film’s producer, Steve Filmer, will be in Sedona to host the film and present a Q&A discussion following the screening. Filmer is an Emmy-award winning producer and broadcaster with more than two decades of experience working both in front of and behind the camera. His on-air credits include Consumer Editor for ABC’s Good Morning America, and reporting at network affiliates in Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Atlanta.
