12th & Delaware
a documentary by Academy Award® nominees
Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady
A conversation with Filmmaker Rachel Grady follows the screening.
Saturday, June 26 at 3pm, at Upstate Films in Woodstock, the Hudson Valley Programmers Group in conjunction with the Woodstock Film Festival will present 12TH & DELAWARE by Loki FIlms and Academy Award® nominees Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. A Q&A with Grady will follow the screening. The screening is being presented courtesy of HBO Films.
Using skillful cinema-vérité observation that allows us to draw our own conclusions, Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing, the directors of Jesus Camp, expose the molten core of America’s most intractable conflict. As the pro-life volunteers paint a terrifying portrait of abortion to their clients, across the street, the staff members at the clinic fear for their doctors' lives and fiercely protect the right of their clients to choose. Shot in the year when abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his church, the film makes these fears palpable. Meanwhile, women in need become pawns in a vicious ideological war with no end in sight.
