This urgent and timely window into the intersection of abortion and politics in America follows three women who lead formidable anti-abortion organizations, witnessing the influence they wield. As the nation faces the end of Roe, the film also depicts those on the front lines of the fierce fight to maintain access. “[Battleground] feels destined to roil and rile and, one can only hope, push its viewers to step back and examine everyone’s ideas and politics with a critical eye. Messy, personal, timely, brimming with ideas, overflowing with pain, and without answers: that’s the debate, and that’s the doc” (Indiewire).

Director Cynthia Lowen will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A.
