Sunday, March 5 2023, 12am Saturday, March 11 2023, 12am Online, ON YOUR OWN TIME Women's History Month America's War on Abortion A film by Deeyah Khan United States | 2020 | 65 minutes | Color | English | In this BAFTA award-winning film, two-time Emmy and Peabody award-winning filmmaker Deeyah Khan examines the erosion of reproductive rights in the United States, foregrounding the stories of those often forgotten in this ‘war’ who nonetheless find themselves on its frontline: impoverished women and women of color. Khan films at abortion clinics which are under siege from fundamentalist Christian protesters, and meets the doctors who face an ever-present threat of violence, even murder, from anti-abortion fanatics. She meets a man convicted of bombing clinics, and the women who face one of the most difficult decisions of their lives in choosing to have an abortion. In his time in office, Donald Trump wooed evangelical Christian voters by enacting anti-abortion policies; and with a political battle raging in the Supreme Court, the right of American women to choose is under threat. Deeyah Khan goes on the frontline to find the people who will be most affected by the abortion wars.
