Opening Night: Reproductive Rights Film Festival

In response to recent legislation, this two-day festival presents feature films that investigate, explore, and celebrate the various facets of the fight for safe abortion access throughout the country. Award-winning filmmakers come together to present these works, along with talkbacks and introductions. 

On opening night, directors Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg introduce their film Reversing Roe (2018, 99 min.) which investigates the long-term political campaign to overturn Roe v. Wade through interviews with abortion rights advocates and opponents. After the film, reproductive justice organizer Senti Sojwal of Planned Parenthood moderates a conversation between Stern and Sundberg with Renee Bracey Sherman, Senior Public Affairs Manager at the National Network of Abortion Funds, and Nancy Northup, President of the Center for Reproductive Rights.
