CGiii Comment
An important film....about late-term abortion providers.
As divisive and contentious a subject can ever be - this film presents a rather one-sided argument...for the procedure. Against...are the religious nutcases - too easy to dismiss.
There's little in the way of science, there's no mention as to a possible solution to this 'problem' (EDUCATION & easy access to contraception) and, the financial profit is ignored - this is an expensive procedure - available to only those who can afford it!!! So, as a balanced documentary, it has some major flaws.
It will make you think...it may even change your mind. But, be warned, it only scratches at the surface.

The(ir) Blurb...
After the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas in 2009, there are a limited number of doctors left in the country who provide third-trimester abortions for women. AFTER TILLER moves between the rapidly unfolding stories of these doctors, all of whom were close colleagues of Dr. Tiller, and are fighting to keep this service available in the wake of his death. These four people have become the new number-one targets of the pro-life movement, yet continue to risk their lives every day to do work that many believe is murder, but which they believe is profoundly important for their patients' lives. AFTER TILLER shows them confronting harassment from protesters, challenges in their personal lives, and a series of tough ethical decisions.
