When ‘Roe’ Fell

This is a short clip from the longer form documentary I conceptualized, shot, directed, edited, soundscaped, and oversaw. In my coverage of the fall of Roe vs Wade, it became obvious as I was collecting footage, beginning on the night of the leak, outside the court - that a bigger story was forming. Not just that, in an unprecedented move, the Supreme Court was poised to take away the rights of a massive percentage of the populous, but that the people were moved by this and working together. This clip is the the opening of the resulting documentary.

In the middle of something truly horrific unfolding around me, I wanted to convey the gravity of the moment. While I’m proud of the doc at large, particularly given how small the team was (I also had a graphic designer and a copy editor), the opening in particular is something I’m very proud of.
