Description

Special event: Film and post-screening discussion presented by Emma Goldman Clinic.

"Whether one is pro-life, pro-choice or without an opinion on the issue, "After Tiller" provides personal insight into a heart-wrenching, complex reality. The film does not pretend to be an answer to the abortion controversy but rather a presentation of the people who are demonized, correctly or incorrectly, for their actions." - The Hollywood Reporter

"Extraordinarily compassionate and thought-provoking. An important film that looks unblinkingly at an important subject." - Flavorwire

After Tiller intimately explores the highly controversial subject of third-trimester abortions in the wake of the 2009 assassination of practitioner Dr. George Tiller. The procedure is now performed by only four doctors in the United States, all former colleagues of Dr. Tiller, who risk their lives every day in the name of their unwavering commitment toward their patients. Directors Martha Shane and Lana Wilson have created a moving and unique look at one of the most incendiary topics of our time, and they’ve done so in an informative, thought-provoking, and compassionate way.
