Ask the Filmmaker

On Tuesday, September 2, 2014, from 1 PM to 2 PM ET (10-11 AM PT), After Tiller subject Dr. Susan Robinson, filmmaker Martha Shane and journalist Irin Carmon took your questions in a live video chat about the complexities and ethics of third-trimester abortions.

After Tiller does viewers the great service of providing light where there's usually only heat, giving a human face and heart to what previously might have been an abstract issue or quickly scanned news item.

— Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

Debuting helmers Martha Shane and Lana Wilson manage a rare feat in After Tiller, making a calm, humanist documentary about a hot-button topic.

— Alissa Simon, Variety

Brings an emotional clarity to an issue in which every nuanced turn of phrase has been made politically complicated.

— Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

One of the most courageous pieces of filmmaking... I've ever seen.

— Susan Gerhard, Fandor
