Here’s a new poster for Dawn Porter‘s latest film, “Trapped,” which will make its World Premiere at Sundance 2016.
U.S. abortion clinics are fighting to survive. Since 2010, hundreds of laws regulating abortion clinics have been passed by conservative state legislatures, particularly in the south. These restrictions, known as TRAP laws (or Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers) are spreading across America.
Faced with increased costs of compliance and the alarming fear of violence from protestors, the stakes for the women and men on the frontlines couldn’t be any higher. As the battle heads to the U.S. Supreme Court, TRAPPED follows the struggles of the clinic workers and lawyers fighting to keep abortion safe and legal for millions of American women, many of them poor and uninsured.
Directed by Porter, Dr. Willie Parker, Amy Hagstrom Miller, Marva Sadler, Nancy Northup, June Ayers, Dalton Johnson, and Gloria Gray are featured in the film.
In 2013, Porter’s Gideon’s Army” had played at Sundance and won the U.S. Documentary Editing Award. Prior to that, it also had won the Tribeca All Access Creative Promise Award from the Tribeca Film Institute in 2011.
