 Video Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

Length:

14 minutes
Age Range: General Audience

Playfully updating the 1950's school documentary, the film uses political and social satire to explore the issue of the reproductive rights of women. Found-footage, animation, and original images are masterfully woven together to tell the fictional stories of a conservative politician, a young couple, and a fundamentalist activist. The film celebrates the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, highlights the ongoing political and social battle for reproductive rights in the United States, and urges viewers to consider the possibilities should choice be taken away.

Reviews

“Highly Recommended! …A compelling cautionary tale …A treat to watch …An excellent conversation starter in women’s studies and political science classes. The video is also recommended for media studies and communications classes because it is an excellent example of a documentary short film.”
-- Educational Media Reviews Online

“Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Happiness is one of the all time best videos I have seen on a social issue. It is funny, whimsical, creative and very impactful in its message about reproductive choice. For those of you who are solidly pro-choice it will be a fun film to see, and you will feel pleased that a film has been created that has the potential of changing the views of those who are anti-choice.”
-- Helynna Brooke, Leadership Alliance

“I loved it.”
-- Former Vice President Al Gore
