    Abortion Helpline, This is Lisa

    Mike ATTIE Janet GOLDWATER Barbara ATTIE 2019 USA Documentary color 13min English DCP
    At a women’s health fund in Philadelphia, phone counselors—all called Lisa to protect their anonymity—arrive each morning to the nonstop ring of calls from people who are seeking to end a pregnancy and can’t afford to. The film exposes how legislation like the Hyde Amendment ties access to abortion to economic status and denies reproductive justice.
