Newswire/ -- On Easter Weekend the film
Roe V. Wade will open on streaming services to
U.S. audiences. Roe V. Wade is a 21st-century American
political-legal drama film produced, written and directed by Nick Loeb and Cathy
Allyn. It serves as a dramatization of the 1973 landmark decision,
Roe v. Wade, rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court on the
constitutionality of laws that criminalized or restricted access to abortions.
"For me, resurrection weekend is a perfect opening weekend. Jesus Christ is the
way the truth and the life, and he is also the light of the world," said Dr.
Alveda King an executive producer of the film. "Bringing the truth and light
about how Roe v. Wade brought legal abortion to
America and perhaps the world on this particular day is appropriate."
The film shares the rarely told story of how pro-abortion activists convinced a
poor, teenage pregnant girl to be their pawn in the Roe v.
Wade test case.
Roe V. Wade, also highlights the work of
Harvard-trained African American pro-life activist Dr. Mildred Fay Jefferson.
Jefferson is the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical school.
"I am proud that the story of unsung hero Dr. Mildred Faye Jefferson is finally
being told. Dr. Jefferson is rarely celebrated by women's groups or African
American groups," said Dr. King.
In addition to being an executive producer on the film, King appears as Guthrie
Jefferson, Dr. Mildred Jefferson's mother.
The movie can now be viewed on the following streaming services.

Roe V. Wade also features actors Joey Lawrence, Corbin
Bernsen and Oscar award-winning actor Jon Voight.
