DVDs:

  • The Education of Shelby Knox. Set in Texas, this documentary follows a teen activist for comprehensive sexuality education as she struggles to reconcile her changing political views with her faith, family, and community. Worth it all for her heart-to-heart with her local pastor and abstinence advocate (Actual quote: "Well, Christianity isn't exactly a tolerant religion.")
  • From Danger to Dignity. This documentary highlights the networks of clergymen, feminists, and health care providers who were committed to ensuring women's access to safe abortion before Roe v. Wade.
  • Our Song. This coming-of-age story set in Crown Heights, Brooklyn follows three teenage girls as their paths diverge one summer. Killer marching band footage.

  • National Advocates for Pregnant Women seeks to protect the rights and human dignity of all women, particularly pregnant and parenting women and those who are most vulnerable, through litigation, litigation support and legal advocacy; local and national organizing; public policy development, and public education and outreach.
