You can stream After Tiller on PBS this month

If you weren’t able to see After Tiller when it came to select theaters last year, here’s some good news! The powerful documentary about the last few third-trimester abortion providers in the country premiered last night on PBS and will be available for streaming online until October. 

The film, which I wrote about here, offers a really moving look at the emotional and moral complexity of late-term abortion. The four doctors profiled, who are choosing every day to provide these services in the long shadow of Dr. Tiller’s murder, all speak eloquently about what motivates them.

And today at 1 PM ET, you can tune into a Google hangout chat to hear from one of them, Dr. Susan Robinson, along with the filmmakers, Martha Shane and Lana Wilson, and journalist Irin Carmon.
