Since the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas in May 2009, there are only four American doctors left who openly provide third-trimester abortions. AFTER TILLER paints a complex, compassionate portrait of these physicians who have become the new number-one targets of the anti-abortion movement, yet continue to do work that they believe is profoundly important.

“A rare feat…a calm, humanist documentary about a hot-button topic. Well contextualized and sensitively shot with extraordinary access, After Tiller reflects the personal, moral, and ethical struggles of the doctors as well as their patients, and deserves the widest possible audience.”

— Alissa Simon, Variety

“Intimate and heartfelt…Brings an emotional clarity to an issue in which every nuanced turn of phrase has been made politically complicated.”

— Mark Olsen, The Los Angeles Times
