Ask for Jane (2018)
Timely, urgent, necessary
I love this movie so much. 1) I had no idea that the Jane Collective existed. 2) There couldn't be a better moment to talk about this history and the way in which legalizing abortion saves women's lives, both literally and figuratively. But 3) it's a really great movie! Well written, beautifully acted, well directed; this is a compelling story about a group of women finding their individual and collective voices as they endeavor to help each other and to help strangers.
