Initially slow-paced docudrama comprised entirely of interview clips turns out to be an interesting meditation on the abortion rights issue. Set in the year 2042, the interviewer talks to people involved in a sensational mother-daughter case where both were convicted for "fetal murder." The evolving argument of how Roe v. Wade was chipped away during a period of reactionary conservatism in America during the early years of the new century is disturbing, scary, and seems frighteningly possible. (R. Pitman)
