| Summary |
Beginning with current attempts to ban it, this film draws startling parallels with the battle waged over nearly two decades to keep RU486, now called mifepristone, from the U.S. market. The story of the pill's tangled and fascinating history begins with its invention in France, travels to Germany, England, India, Brazil, China and finally to clinical trials in the United States. Featuring rare historical footage of political, scientific, corporate, and activist leaders from both sides of the abortion battle, the film details what was, at the time, headline news, but has more recently been overlooked. |
