Our bodies our doctors (DVD) / a film by Jan Haaken ; Specular Productions presents ; produced by Specular Productions in association with Portland State University Foundation ; directed by Jan Haaken ; produced by David Cress and Jan Haaken.
This documentary tells the rearely-discussed story of what it means to be an abortion provider today: confronting the threats of violence and facing intensified political threats and efforts to criminalize abortion. Religious control over health care is expanding, including in many pro-choice states. The abortion debate continues to be defined by gruesome images of the anti-abortion movement. In contrast, this film provides a crucial, hopeful point of view: an intimate glimpse into the work lives of these courageous providers and why they fight for reproductive justice.
