A good documentary about a group of women who secretly established a network that enabled women to obtain abortions. Talking heads, primarily members of the network known as Jane at the time, are supported by archival footage. An excellent historical document that is unfortunately relevant again.

The American women's liberation movement of the 1960s resulted, among other things, in a network of young women who facilitated affordable, illegal abortions. These women cleverly evaded the police and helped approximately 11,000 women terminate their pregnancies until Roe v Wade made it legal for every woman to obtain an abortion. In the year the U.S. Supreme Court overturned this decision, several "Janes" (the code name the group used for advertising and answering phone calls) look back on a period when women lacked control over their bodies.
