Abortion Topic of Film and Post-screening Discussion

The Emma Goldman Clinic will host a post-screening discussion of Lake of Fire, an acclaimed documentary about abortion in the United States.  The special showing with discussion will be held on Monday, December 10 at 6:30pm at the recently renovated Bijou Theater located in Room 166 of the Iowa Memorial Union.

Directed by Tony Kaye, Lake of Fire retains a decidedly non-biased perspective on abortion.  Newsweek raves, “Wherever you stand on the volatile issue of abortion, Tony Kaye’s exhaustive documentary could dislodge your certainties with a broad survey of opinion from opposite (sometimes violent) extremes and explicit depictions of medical procedures.”

The film is 152 minutes long and will be shown at the following times:

Friday, December 7 at 6:00pm
Saturday, December 8 at  6:15pm
Monday, December 10 at  6:30pm (to be followed by a Q&A led by the Emma Goldman Clinic)
Tuesday, December 11at 6:00pm
Wednesday, December 12 at  9:00pm
Thursday, December 13 at  6:00pm
