12th & Delaware

Director: Heidi Ewing, Rachel Grady
Studio: HBO Documentary Films
Genre: Documentary
Runtime: 1 hour 30 minutes

The provocative documentary from acclaimed filmmakers Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing centers on one of the most actual problems of humanity - abortion. The heated controversy between the supporters and the opponents of abortion comes into the conflict of the global importance.
The war of wits is especially hard in Fort Pierce, where 12th Street crosses Delaware Avenue. There is an abortion clinic called “A Woman’s World” on one side of the street. The Pregnancy Care Center is situated on the other. One can’t imagine the place, which suits better for the confrontation.
The pro-life volunteers express their attitude to abortion by painting a portrait of abortion to the clients across the street, both terrifying and disgusting. And their opponents, working in the abortion clinic, seriously fear for their lives, as they offer their clients the right to choose. The battle between the streets flares up and the passions are running high… And that is a question, if there is a way out of the situation, when each party insists on its own opinion and considers it is the only true one… “12th & Delaware” offers an independent sight on one of the most intractable conflicts in the US.
