After Tiller with Lana Wilson in person

Location: Bartos Screening Room

With director Lana Wilson in person

Dirs. Lana Wilson, Martha Shane. 2013, 85 mins. U.S. DCP. After the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas in May 2009, only four American doctors continued to openly provide third-trimester abortions. After Tiller paints a complex, compassionate portrait of these physicians—Dr. LeRoy Carhart, Dr. Warren Hern, Dr. Susan Robinson, and Dr. Shelley Sella—who became the new primary targets of the anti-abortion movement in the years that followed yet remained willing to risk their own safety to care for the lives of their patients. First-time directors Wilson and Shane offer an intimate, thought-provoking, and deeply moving portrait of people working at the epicenter of one of the most incendiary topics of the last half-century. Made nearly ten years before the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, After Tiller provides context and a vital backstory for what’s become an even starker public health crisis.
