Untitled Jewish Abortion Doc

Institute History

  • 2022 Sundance Documentary Film Grant

Description

Inspired by the lawsuits filed in Florida challenging the state’s abortion ban on the basis of religious freedom, Untitled Jewish Abortion Doc is a short documentary about the national Jewish response to the Dobbs decision woven through the lived experiences of impacted Jewish women and the various lawsuits currently being launched by Rabbis, Jewish organizations and interfaith leaders to challenge the overturning of Roe state by state. Through the lens of maintaining the separation between church and state, these nation-wide efforts are predicated on ultimately protecting religious freedom – and democracy – for all.
