AIFF on the Small Screen: After Tiller
After Tiller
Documentary | 85 minutes | 2012 | Director(s): Martha Shane & Lana Wilson | USA | AIFF2013
Since the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas in May 2009, there are only four doctors in the US who still provide third-trimester abortions. Through unprecedented access, After Tiller paints a complex, compassionate portrait of these physicians — former colleagues of Dr. Tiller — who put their lives at risk in order to do work that saves their patients’ lives. Targeted as murderers by some in the anti-abortion movement, their private lives are exposed, and their physical safety is in jeopardy. [mature]
