Synopsis
Provocative and bracing, Unborn in the USA provides a riveting look into the deep secrets and deep pockets of the pro-life movement. Traveling across 35 states, the filmmakers are granted unprecedented access to pro-life groups, movement icons, fund-raising machines, and even into classes where university students are being groomed to carry empathetic, pro-life messages to campuses around the country. More than 70 exclusive interviews are interwoven with astonishing archival footage and startling street confrontations to document one of the most controversial social movements in American history.

Embedded...with seemingly limitless access to everything." - Variety "The abortion movie everyone should see. Fascinating!" - Salon.com "Masterfully gives a balanced picture, without editorializing." - Film Journal International "Straightforward reportage of the most useful kind." - The Nation "Revealing and dramatic! Allows the pro-life activists a fair opportunity to tell their own story in their own way." - New York Sun "The result is arguably the most objective and fair-minded documentary yet of the prolife movement." - Christianity Today Recommended Reading The Making of Pro-life Activists: How Social Movement Mobilization Works by Ziad W.
