Controversial film on late-term abortions to be shown in Ireland
The acclaimed film — which attempts to highlight why some medics provide the service despite suffering death threats and serious moral dilemmas, and why some women seek it — will headline the Irish Film Institute’s Stranger Than Fiction festival between Sep 26 and 29.
Titled After Tiller, the documentary follows the stories of four doctors who are continuing to perform third trimester abortions after Dr George Tiller, another medic offering the service, was shot dead in 2009 by a pro- life activist. His office had previously been fire-bombed.
