Ours To Tell

Ours to Tell is the story of four people who live full and empowered lives because they had the freedom to access abortion. Ours to Tell spotlights what it means to a person’s future to have bodily autonomy and issues a call for compassion and self-determination. A departure from the way abortion is often portrayed, the film centers on voices that are rarely heard — including Black, Latinx, and transgender people.

Foster safe spaces for conversations about abortion; increase the visibility of people of color and the LGBTQ+ community in the reproductive justice space, and drive support for initiatives protecting abortion access.
