Official Trailer for Abortion Drama "Call Jane" Starring Elizabeth Banks

"We're helpful! Yeah, it's not perfect, but it works." Roadside Attr. has unveiled the first official trailer for the drama Call Jane, which premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. This film is a dramatized and fictionalized version of the story of "The Janes", the underground abortion ring that operated in late 1960s/early 1970s Chicago. The real story is told in the documentary titled The Janes, which has already been released by HBO. In this film, the story follows a married woman with an unwanted pregnancy lives in a time in America where she cannot obtain a legal abortion and works with a group of suburban women to find help. After her own procedure, she begins working with them to help other women get safe abortions. "Inspired by real events, director Phyllis Nagy's film captures the essence of social change in the late 1960s through one woman's quest to obtain a safe and legal abortion." With Elizabeth Banks, Sigourney Weaver, Chris Messina, Wunmi Mosaku, Kate Mara, Cory Michael Smith, Grace Edwards and Evangeline Young. The doc version of this story is much better than this movie and I recommend you watch it instead.

Here is the first official trailer for Phyllis Nagy's Call Jane, straight from Roadside's YouTube:

Chicago, 1968. As the city and country teeter on the brink of political upheaval, suburban housewife Joy (Elizabeth Banks) lives an ordinary life with her husband and daughter. When Joy's pregnancy results in a life-threatening heart condition, she must navigate an all-male medical facility that is unwilling to terminate her pregnancy in order to save her life. Her journey to find a solution brings her to Virginia (Sigourney Weaver), an independent visionary fiercely committed to women's health, and Gwen (Wunmi Mosaku), an activist who dreams of a day when all women have access to abortion, regardless of their age. the ability to pay. Joy is so inspired by their work that she decides to partner with them, putting every aspect of her life on the line. Call Jane is directed by American writer/filmmaker Phyllis Nagy, his second film after directing the TV movie Mrs. Harris previously, and writing the Carol novel and screenplay. The screenplay is by Hayley Schore & Roshan Sethi. This originally premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
