Film Lens

PLAN C
Plan C is a 2023 documentary directed by Tracy Droz Tragos that focuses on grassroots efforts to provide access to abortion in the United States. The film centers on the distribution of abortion pills through mail and the internet, particularly in response to the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade. The documentary shows the actions taken by the Plan C organization and its co-founder, Francine Coeytaux, in the wake of this legal change. The film was produced over four years and includes insights from individuals involved in the movement. Tragos, who previously directed a similar documentary called Abortion: Stories Women Tell, built trust with interviewees through her prior work. The film captures the urgency of the situation, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when access to abortion services was severely limited in many states.
