ROCO/ABRAMORAMA

This June, the Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade, ending 50 years of constitutional protections for abortion in the United States. Directed by Cynthia Lowen, “Battleground” shows how anti-abortion activists worked to get Roe overturned and how pro-choice activists work to maintain safe and legal access to abortion services.

Lowen is also the director and producer of ‘Netizens,’ a feature documentary about women and online harassment and ‘Bully’ following five kids and families through a year in the life of America’s bullying crisis.

Battleground” will be in theaters beginning October 7 and will be shown at Proctors in Schenectady, New York on October 11.
