Synopsis

Jenny Raskin and Liz Mermin's documentary, produced by Catherine Gund, explores the issues faced by U.S. doctors who perform abortions amid a climate of violent protest. The film -- which aims to challenge the anti-abortion movement -- focuses on three dedicated providers who risk their lives on a daily basis. Interviews with families, colleagues and patients present a humanistic portrait of these strongly principled health care professionals.
