SHE WAS STRONGER FILM SCREENING & Q&A

Thursday, January 19, 2023
Renaissance Hotel – Room 8 & 9 | 1:30 PM; 3:00 PM*; 4:30 PM*; 7:30 PM

She Was Stronger is a compelling portrait of three American women who share one thing in common: what they’ve left behind. Separated by class, coastlines, and ethnicities, their paths converge as each start working for the abortion industry, and after a long struggle, walks away. Their stories take us behind closed doors, inside the clinics, and alongside the whirring machines, to give us deep insight into the deceit and manipulation that tens of thousands of men, women, and children face in abortion clinics across the country today. Through their pain and healing, these women show the courage that it takes to get out – and the urgency of helping others do the same.

*Abby Johnson will be at this film time and Q&A
