deserving of a wide(r) release / black and white
I truly feel that this is one of the most important documentaries ever, and should be seen by as many people as possible.
Yeah - there is a lot of disturbing imagery. There's some irony in the discussion of whether or not it's suitable for all ages; although I really don't know if I like the idea of showing the film to somebody not mature enough to understand the intellectual content of the film, but mature enough to be emotionally affected (traumatized?) by the graphic visuals... but this film should be screened by everyone capable of understanding the abstract debates surrounding abortion.
Should it be part of public high school sex-ed / health curriculums? Should it be (freely?) distributed / endorsed by Planned Parenthood et al.?
[personally, I feel that this film provides the most appropriate context for this imagery possible.]
On a separate note...
That the film is in black and white is another irony (there's absolutely nothing black-and-white about the documentary); yet, if it were in color, it would have no chance of a wider distribution. Out of curiosity, how do you guys feel about the choice to shoot in b&w? Would you / other audiences react differently if it were in color?
