Film Critique – Birthright: A War Story
This film has been assigned for the entire Women’s Reproductive Health module.
While Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, it is not the reality for many. Birthright: A War Story features the stories of women across the United States under siege. Every day, their ability to make their own decisions about their bodies, health, and when and if to have a family is under attack in cities and states. Political, religious, corporate, and governmental factions are waging a war on women’s health — and it has real consequences.
Please answer all of the following questions in your film critique:
- What are the long-term implications of creating a system where pregnancy has legal repercussions?
- What role does race play in this documentary and access to reproductive care nationwide?
- How is the regulation of reproductive health care reflective of cultural and social views of women in American society?
