“Jolt is extremely excited to be launching ‘Zurawski v Texas’ this December,” said Geralyn Dreyfous, Jolt co-founder and chief film officer, adding it “has the potential to save lives once audiences have the opportunity to see it. We are honored to aggregate and amplify the call for legal accountability and the access needed for medical emergencies.”
Directed by Emmy-winner Maisie Crow (“Jackson”) and Abbie Perrault (“At the Ready”), the film offers an unflinching look at the human toll of Texas’s restrictive abortion laws. Centered on the stories of three courageous women and their fight to reclaim their reproductive futures, the movie “is both a testament to resilience and a rallying cry for justice and essential healthcare,” according to filmmakers.
Co-director Perrault said the work “repositions abortion as essential, basic healthcare, and Jolt’s data-driven approach as a platform will allow this message to reach a diverse array of new audiences at a critical moment where women and families’ access to care is on the line.”
Telluride saw the world premiere of “Zurawski v Texas,” which continued on to Hot Springs, Montclair, Mill Valley and the Hamptons Doc Fest.
