The Oscar-nominated short film “Red, White and Blue,” by filmmaker Nazrin Choudhury, follows Rachel (Brittany Snow), a single parent living paycheck to paycheck. When an unexpected pregnancy threatens to unravel her already precarious position, she is forced to cross state lines in search of an abortion.

The film screening will be followed by the Anthem Award-winning discussion series More To Talk About with a conversation focused on economic and reproductive justice. Panelists will include filmmaker Nazrin Choudhury, Professor Kate Shaw (Penn Carey Law and Strict Scrutiny podcast), Professor Melissa Murray (NYU Law and Strict Scrutiny podcast), LaTosha Brown (Black Voters Matter), Katia Pérez (Abortion Liberation Fund of PA) and others to be announced. This event will also feature a livestream available to other academic campuses as students and faculty host simultaneous impact screenings around the country.  

This event is sponsored by the If/When/How pro bono project, Penn Reproductive Justice undergraduate student group, Purple Parlor Fund, and Level Forward public benefit entertainment studio, in partnership with the Toll Public Interest Center and Penn Women's Center.
