Virtual Documentary Night

The next Virtual Documentary Night will be THIS SUNDAY, October 17th at 7 pm.  We will be discussing the documentary, I Had An Abortion. The film documents the stories of 11 women cutting across age, race, class, and religion, who candidly describe experiences spanning seven decades, from the years before Roe v. Wade to the present day.

Here is a link to where you can watch it for free. https://abortionfilms.org/en/show/3473/ich-habe-abgetrieben/ 

Let Adam Hicks know you want to join the zoom call by emailing him at communitydocumentarynight@gmail.com
