Birthright (2017)
BIRTHRIGHT is a look at the fall out from the war of the far right and the right to life groups on abortion rights. As a result of the groups' insistence on ending abortions they are causing many women to have their lives put in danger when their health or pregnancies go bad. Additionally the zealous prosecution of some women has broken up families and made criminals out of women who should not be in jail.The film begins with the story of a woman whose life was put into danger when her water broke after 22 weeks and 1 day. He body would not retain water and the chance of a giving birth was only 10% with only a 2% chance it would be remotely healthy. Essentially refused an abortion she ended up nearly dying when she got an infection that nearly killed her. From their the film spins out giving a history of abortion rights and how the legal battles surrounding it are shaping our lives.
On many levels this is a very good look at the unexpected results of the war over abortion. It is a film that gives the battles a very human face and shows very clearly the collateral damage of the knee jerk reaction against abortion. As the film makes clear there is not a hell of a lot of thinking past the "abortion is bad. PERIOD" attitude of the right to life. The film also deftly explains how many of the politicians are warping the fight for their own end.
Unfortunately BIRTHRIGHT has two things going against it. The first is that from the get go it is never going to be seen by the people whose minds need to be changed. I doubt that anyone who is anti abortion will ever look at the film except to ridicule it.
The other problem with the film is that as good and as important it is the film is put together with such intensity that the film comes across at times as too insistent or even loud. Its not the material laying out the fallout rather it's the sequences showing the anti-abortion forces which are cut to make the people behind it seem evil. It's not needed, the stories speak for themselves and showing angry protesters or smiling Republican lawmakers doesn't help the cause or will change minds. Forgive me I like the film, but there are times when it doesn't need to add an exclamation point to what is on the face of it a moving story.
Recommended for those interested in the collateral damage of the abortion rights battle.
BIRTHRIGHT: A WAR STORY will be released by Abramorama in theaters starting July 14th in New York, followed by additional cities across the country including Los Angeles (July 28th), Chicago, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and more to be announced.
