The Defenders: Check It Out

The Defenders - A History of the Birth Control Movement in Wisconsin, a film that frames the seventy year history of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin around the broader historical context of the birth control movement throughout time. They are facing the greatest political challenges to reproductive health care since 1973, yet people are unaware of what is happening. And their history is slipping away from them because many of the women and men who had the vision for this remarkable organization and movement are gone. You will learn what it took to gain the right to birth control and safe legal abortion, and what it will take to hold on to these basic human rights.
