Pennsylvania Kicks Off Fadiman’s Choice At Risk Film Screening Tour

Posted on September 24, 2012


We’ve Had Enough PA, September 24, 2012

Following a series of pre-launch screenings in Nevada and California, we’re excited to announce that documentary filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman will kick off a five-state, fall 2012 Choice at Risk film-screening tour with a gathering on Sept. 27th in Philadelphia sponsored by Pennsylvanians for Choice.

The tour, facilitated by the Unitarian Universalist Association which is just beginning a four-year, denomination-wide engagement with issues of reproductive justice, will then move across Pennsylvania.  Each event features film and discussion to help raise awareness and inspire activism and will include selections from Fadiman’s Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning PBS documentary series From the Back Alleys to the Supreme Court & Beyond

Ms. Fadiman’s collection of work has brought together stores of the dangerous back alley days, the current challenges to birth control and safe, legal abortions and much more.  You can preview some of the clips at www.choiceatrisk.org

In Philadelphia, the gathering is designed to challenge escalating restrictions on reproductive rights and celebrates the collegial working relationship of pro-choice and faith-based communities.  Reverend Dr. Beverly Dale co-founder of PA Clergy for Choice and Pennsylvania Religious Coalition for Reproductive Justice will join Fadiman and members of the pro-choice coalition in Pennsylvania called Pennsylvanians for Choice including: Philadelphia Women’s Center, WOMEN’S WAY, Pennsylvania Clergy for Choice, the Pennsylvania Religious Coalition for Reproductive Justice, Mishkan, National Council of Jewish Women-Pennsylvania, Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania, Cherry Hill Women’s Center, Women’s Medical Fund, Faith Aloud, and Medical Students for Choice.  The event will also feature resource tables from the organizations.
