LAKE OF FIRE Theatrical Trailer

Ever since Roe v. Wade, the United States has been deeply divided on the issue of abortion. In that landmark case, an unmarried pregnant woman was refused an abortion in Texas and, with the ensuing judicial challenge, won American women the right to safe, legal abortions. Ever since, proponents and opponents have lined up on either side of the issue, launching verbal abuse -- and worse -- at each other. As the religious right has increased in size and power in the past decade, the issue has become even more divisive -- and violent.

Filmmaker Tony Kaye, best known for "American History X," has been working on LAKE OF FIRE for the past fifteen years and has made a film that is unquestionably the definitive work on the subject of abortion. Shot in luminous black and white, which is in fact an endless palette of grays, the film has the perfect esthetic for a subject where there can be no absolutes, no 'right' or 'wrong.' He gives equal time to both sides, covering arguments from either extremes of the spectrum, as well as those at the center, who acknowledge that, in the end, everyone is 'right' -- or 'wrong.'

With graphic images of termination procedures and their aftermath, Kaye endeavors to show abortion's physical and psychological reality -- to make clear what exactly is at stake. LAKE OF FIRE -- the film's title comes from one person's description of what awaits abortionists in hell -- is a brave film, even a monumental one. And whatever you believe now, you are certain to think differently after seeing it.

Don't like gay marriage? Don’t get one.

Don’t like abortions? Don’t get one.

Don’t like drugs? Don’t do them.

Don’t like sex? Don’t have it.

Don’t like your rights taken away?

Don’t take away anybody else's.

Had to log in to sing the praises of this film. Portrays EXTREMELY outspoken pro-lifers as the  nuts they generally seem to be but also makes it clear that an abortion is a dire and fairly tragic thing. Not a condemnation or a validation. Just an incredible movie.

[moniquitaas]

@ThePCGamingShow Agreeed!!!

[SuperWetRat]

seriously, "abortionists should be executed", everybody see's the hypocrisy in that statement, right?

[SuperWetRat]

how come pro lifers don't picket outside prisons that perform executions?

Until you have been through the experience yourself i think you can all fuck off and are not entitled to an opinion.

Christians:  The number 1 reason why abortion should stay legal.

Fuck we are a wacky hybrid species. An animal that is slowly becoming something else. If you were to track our progress on an evolutionary chart were definitely in the teenage years of human evolution. As far as abortion I think the women has the right to choose but god damn man thats a heavy thing to kill a baby. If a ladies on her fourth or fifth abortion I think they should just get rid of her....
