180
180 is a 2011 anti-abortion documentary short film produced by Ray Comfort. The film begins with images of the Holocaust and discusses Adolf Hitler's role in the deaths of 11 million people. Comfort interviews various individuals about their knowledge of Hitler, revealing gaps in historical understanding, and introduces hypothetical scenarios about killing Hitler. He then shifts the focus to abortion in the United States, drawing parallels between the two subjects and referring to the high number of abortions as the 'American Holocaust.' The documentary concludes with Comfort stating that over 50 million abortions have occurred, positioning this statistic as a moral crisis. Originally intended as a free DVD supplement to his book, the film was self-distributed by Living Waters Publications and gained significant attention online, despite criticism regarding its controversial comparisons and graphic content.
