We watched this last night and heartily recommend it. For those who were around in the 60’s it offers a vivid reminder of how awful things were for women and for reproductive health in pre-Roe times. And for all of us, it is a helpful reminder that “there is always something to be done” to resist injustice and oppression, t to provide support and mutual aid, and to make a difference. One hour and 21 minutes. . Definitely worth your while.
