With a controversial visionary at the helm, a grassroots network fights to expand access to abortion pills across the United States keeping hope alive during a global pandemic and the fall of Roe v. Wade.
PLAN C documents the work of determined women in the United States expanding access to medication abortion by any means necessary. The abortion pill, RU486 or “Mifepristone,” used in conjunction with “Misoprostol,” safely and effectively ends a pregnancy up to 12 weeks according to the World Health Organization. It has been approved by the FDA, since 2000 and yet few Americans have heard of it.
Tracy Droz Tragos is an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose credits include the Emmy-nominated HBO film “Abortion: Stories Women Tell,” about personal stories of unplanned pregnancies, which premiered at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival, and "Rich Hill," about at-risk teenagers living in her father's hometown in rural Missouri, which won the Grand Jury Prize for U.S. Documentary at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. In 2018, Tragos completed “The Smartest Kids in the World,” based on the best-selling book by Amanda Ripley, which premiered at DOC NYC. Tragos’ first film, "Be Good, Smile Pretty," won the Emmy Award for Best Documentary in 2004 and was lauded for its honest exploration of the profound and complicated feelings of loss caused by the deaths of American men in the Vietnam War, some 35 years later.
