When a Film Can't out-Dystopian Texas on Abortion: Watch "L-8"

Busy news day but it can all wait til tomorrow, yeah? Today I got to speak with producer, award-winning screenwriter and actress from Gillian Rabin, along with Georgia WIN List executive director Melita Easters today about the premiere of Gillian's thought-provoking short film, "L-8." You can watch it HERE. Quite the thought-starter! The premise: "Set in a not-so-distant future where period tracking is state-mandated, abortion is now punishable by death, and reporting abortion suspicions is a lucrative way to earn cash, a young woman follows the cascade of coverage on Texas' first death-penalty case from the solitude of her bathroom. After falling in love, our girl's cyclical life is abruptly jeopardized as she tries to outsmart the system  using an unwilling and potentially deadly source: her own mother." A lot of subtleties in this. Hear Gillian, Melita and I discussing the movie and the current political climate with regards to reproductive rights for women.
