The Abortion Debate

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Ever since Roe v. Wade, the United States has been deeply divided on the issue of abortion. As the religious right has increased in size and power over the past decade, the debate has become even more divisive – and violent. Filmmaker Tony Kaye, best known for “American History X,” has made a documentary that aims to be the definitive work on the subject. 18 years in the making, “Lake of Fire” gives equal time to both sides and shows what’s exactly at stake in this debate.

”Lake of Fire” opens Wednesday, October 3 at Film Forum
209 West Houston Street
