| Summary |
In this **Emmy Award**-winning documentary, AFTER TILLER intimately explores the highly controversial subject of third-trimester abortions in the wake of the 2009 assassination of practitioner Dr. George Tiller. The procedure is now performed by only four doctors in the United States, all former colleagues of Dr. Tiller, who risk their lives every day in the name of their unwavering commitment toward their patients. Directors Martha Shane and Lana Wilson have created a moving and unique exploration of one of the most incendiary topics of our time, and they’ve done so in an informative, thought-provoking, and compassionate way. Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize - Documentary at the **Sundance Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Documentary at the **Film Independent Spirit Awards**. 10th Place for Best Documentary from the **Indiewire Critics' Poll**. *"AFTER TILLER does viewers the great service of providing light where there's usually only heat, giving a human face and heart to what previously might have been an abstract issue or quickly scanned news item." - Ann Hornaday, **Washington Post*** *"Engaging and thoughtful, After Tiller's examination of its main subjects forms a documentary that wisely treats its subject with more curiosity than dogma." - Peter Labuza, **The Film Stage*** |
