PRAISE FOR THE DEVIL IS BUSY:

“This powerful short captures the extraordinary work of those providing care under constant threat in an Atlanta abortion clinic—revealing the vulnerability, resilience, and courage required to safeguard women’s health in a time of crisis.” - Hot Springs Film Festival
