Amanda Zurawski v Texas is the first post-Roe v Wade lawsuit filed by women who said their health, lives or fertility had been endangered by abortion bans.

The film, directed by Texas -bred film-makers Abbie Perrault and Maisie Crow , captures with journalistic clarity the chaos, uncertainty and unnecessary pain and suffering that ensues when a state bans abortion what happens in court, in hospitals, and in the private aftermath.

Zurawski v Texas is out now in New York and Los Angeles with more cities to follow.

The film is part behind the scenes of their court hearing nerves, fury, pride, inexpressible pain.

The Texas supreme court rejected the women’s legal challenge, declaring that the state abortion ban could stand as is, without clarifying when medically necessary abortions can be performed.
