*SOLD OUT* Ask for Jane
The Closing Night Film of the 2019 Teaneck International Film Festival is Ask for Jane, directed by Rachel Carey. In 1969, when a pregnant student at the University of Chicago attempts to take her own life, Rose and Janice find a doctor willing to perform an abortion in secret to save the womans life. Sparked by this experience, they form the Jane Collective: a secret organization to help other women obtain safe and illegal abortions. Operating like a spy network, complete with blindfolds and code names, the Janes help thousands of women - but they cant hide from the police forever.
Following the screening, there will be a talkback with director Rachel Carey, film producer and actress Cait Cortelyou, one of the original "Janes" Heather Booth, and award-winning author and journalist on womens issues Angela Bonavoglia.
