The trailer for 'The Janes' reveals a harrowing documentary on abortion and life before Roe v. Wade that is more timely than ever. Watch it here:
As the abortion debate has once again inflamed a nation, HBO Documentary Films is releasing a documentary that sheds light on a time when the practice was considered entirely taboo and criminal, and the network of women that came together and worked to change minds and policies, The Janes.
Many of the women who participated in the documentary are speaking out for the first time about how they were able to defy the Illinois law that banned abortion within the state. According to a press release, The Jane Collective provided low-cost to free abortions to nearly 11,000 women between 1968 and 1973.
The trailer didn’t give away too much information, only highlighting what was once an obscure story of a network of outlaws who risked everything to help women in need. Before coming to HBO, The Janes had a world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, which Ms. Magazine called “lively,” adding that the documentary was “much more than a mere history lesson,” but a film that spotlights a small group of women who did “tremendous work on a large scale.
