Join us for a screening of the award-winning documentary On the Divide on June 29th. The film follows the story of three Latinx people living in McAllen, Texas who, despite their views, are connected by the most unexpected of places: the last abortion clinic on the U.S./Mexico border. As threats to the clinic and their personal safety mount, our three characters are forced to make decisions they never could have imagined.
The rights of child-bearing folks are under increasing threat in our country. “On the Divide is a slice of what is happening around reproductive rights on the ground.” Join us for a compelling look at the complex issue of personal reproductive choice and its impact on people’s lives.
Our own Erika Jackson Kirkendall has deep family connections to the community of McAllen. She will help us lead an in-person discussion after the showing. If you would like to make arrangement to view the film remotely, please contact ctaylor@wuuc.org. Additional participation details to follow closer to the event.
