SYNOPSIS
A history of abortion rights in the United States, this remarkably balanced film examines one of the great divisive issues in this country. 

Kayeâ??s graphic black-and-white film is a perfect metaphor for the most polemic issue in America. The film is extremely comprehensive and shot in a confrontational, intimate style. Kaye, who made the critically praised, provocative indie feature American History X, doesnâ??t shy away from his subject or his subjects. Filmed in tight close-ups, individuals on both sides of the issue are given enough time to explain their beliefs. Some of the most compelling commentary comes from clinic workers who found themselves the victims of terrorist acts initiated by the religious right. It also presents Norma McCorvey, the real-life Jane Roe who has had a startling change of heart and now spends her time speaking out against abortion. Explicit in its material, the film contains a short anti-abortion propaganda film in which a young womanâ??s ten-week-old fetus is aborted, as well as other graphic depictions of the procedure. Be warned that these scenes are quite disturbing, regardless of your feelings about the issue. Lake of Fire demonstrates how Roe v. Wade changed the lives of millions of American women. The tide, it appears, may be turning. This provocative film is sure to stir the fire within anyone who cares about human rights.

Comments

youruncledarnell: have you actually seen the film? you wouldn't make that comment if you had. if any bias exists in the film, it is a pro-choice slant. anyone, no matter what side of the debate they are on, would benefit from seeing this film.
thanks
VLC tells me that "This AVI file is broken". Anybody else get this same error message?
i got the "file is broken" from VLC too. I just choose repair and everything worked fine, at the very end (maybe last 10 min.) it started to get outta sync but not very badly. Worth the download
