In a powerful new project, 'The Trial,' The All\* In Action Fund and Hollywood director Gandja Monteiro bring urgent attention to the impact of abortion bans through chilling historical parallels. This short film unveils a modern-day "witch trial" scenario, portraying a woman, Claire, surrounded by a judgmental mob, prosecuted for seeking an abortion -- a scene set against a present-day city skyline and filmed on smartphones, underscoring the film’s current relevance.

All dialogue in The Trial is based on actual statements from anti-abortion policymakers and reproductive justice advocates. Featuring quotes from figures like Senator John Kennedy and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the film serves as a reminder of today’s political climate and the impact of reproductive rights. The narrative, co-written by Klick Health creatives, draws on the rhetoric surrounding abortion bans, echoing the persecution reminiscent of the Salem witch trials, aiming to inspire action among viewers.
