See two groundbreaking feminist documentaries about abortion on an USA/Canada tour in August/September 2008. Both films are outstanding documents in their own right, but together provide an incredible evening of analysis and information about one of the most divisive issues of our time. Abortion Democracy (50 min, English and Polish with English Subtitles), directed by Sarah Diehl of Berlin, Germany, contrasts the differences in abortion policies in South Africa and Poland regarding abortion laws and their impact on the lives of women. www.abortion-democracy.de The Coat Hanger Project (50 minutes, English) directed by Angie Young, is about abortion and the current state of the pro-choice movement 35 years after Roe vs. Wade. www.thecoathangerproject.com August 21th, 2008 New York Screening + Fundraising Party Bluestockings Bookshop 172 Allen Street 7 pm - free entry - Aug 29th, 2008 Baltimore, MD 21202 Red Emma's 800 St. Paul St. 7:00pm - free entry - August 30th, 2008 Philadelphia Wooden Shoe Books 508 s. 5th street 7.30 pm - free entry - September 4th, 2008 Atlanta, GA Feminist Women's Health Center 7 pm September 5th, 2008 Atlanta, GA Charis Books 8 pm September 12th, 2008 New York Guttmacher Institute 125 Maiden Lane, 7th Floor 12.30 pm Sept 13th, 2008 Boston, MA Lucy Parsons Center 549 Columbus Ave. 6:30pm - free entry - Sept 15th, 2008 Montreal McGill University 6.30 pm - free entry - Sept 17th, 2008 Toronto tba Sept 19th,2008 Urbana, IL The Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center 202 S.
