The Bronx Documentary Center (Bdc) kicked off its 2nd annual Women’s Film Series Friday night with Maisie Crow’s Jackson, a documentary about the only abortion clinic in the state of Mississippi and pro-life opposition attempts to shut it down.

For a film festival to have going on 27 editions in its long and storied history, the Human Rights Watch Film Festival is one of the great unsung gems of a year’s film festival calendar. Often times introducing new voices to mass audiences or highlighting some of the truly great and sociologically important works from across the globe, the Hrwff is a truly enthralling example of what a festival can be.

And this year’s festival is now different. Again in its 27th edition, this year’s slate includes 18 films that will run from June 10-19. Co-presented by both the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the IFC Center, this festival is...
