Comedian and disruptor-extraordinaire Lizz Winstead is angry–and she’s got good reason to be, since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating body autonomy and restricting abortion access in several states across the nation. With her group Abortion Access Front, she’s rolling up her sleeves and taking the fight to the streets to secure abortion freedoms across the US.
As co-creator of both The Daily Show and Air America Radio, Lizz Winstead has been an inspired comedian whose work has brought her face-to-face with the ugliest parts of American politics. In this six-year cinematic journey with Winstead and her Abortion Access Front, a collective of activists, writers, producers, and comedians who use humor to destigmatize abortion and fight anti-abortion forces nationwide, director Ruth Leitman follows the group in their work to secure reproductive rights for everyone–an endeavor with growing significance in the wake of the repeal of Roe v. Wade in 2023 and the impending 2024 election.
“No One Asked You inspires, even as it terrifies…” –-Christopher Reed, Hammer To Nail
