Description

At least as relevant now as it was at our 2016 Festival, Trapped is Dawn Porter’s pointed investigation of U.S. abortion clinics fighting to survive. Since 2010, hundreds of laws regulating abortion clinics have been passed by conservative state legislatures, particularly in the South.  These restrictions, known as TRAP laws, (or Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers,) spread across America. Faced with increased costs of compliance and the alarming fear of violence from protestors, the stakes for the women and men on the frontlines couldn't be any higher. As the battle heads to the U.S. Supreme Court, Trapped follows the struggles of the clinic workers and lawyers fighting to keep abortion safe and legal for millions of American women, many of them poor and uninsured.
