FILM DESCRIPTIONS FOR FILM REACTION PAPER

□ The Business of Being Born (2008) Director Abby Epstein and Producer Rikki Lake’s controversial documentary takes a hard look at America's maternity care system, juxtaposing hospital deliveries against the growing popularity of at-home, natural childbirths that some expectant parents are opting for.

□ If These Walls Could Talk (1996) A house holds the stories of three women from three generations who have occupied the same house -- and a glimpse at the evolution of American abortion rights.

□ Dallas Buyers Club (2013) In 1985 in Dallas, electrician and hustler Ron Woodruff works around the system to help AIDS patients get the medication they need after he is himself diagnosed with the disease.

□ The Invisible War (2012) As ranks of women in the American military swell, so do incidents of rape. The Invisible War exposes a rape epidemic in the armed forces, investigating the institutions that perpetuate it as well as its profound personal and social consequences.

□ Kids (1995) Armed with a raw, provocative script penned by 19-year-old Harmony Korine (Gummo), controversial photographer-filmmaker Larry Clark follows a group of aimless New York teens around the city with few parents and even fewer boundaries.

□ Milk (2008) Sean Penn (in an Oscar-winning role) stars in this fact-based drama about Harvey Milk, the openly gay activist and San Francisco politician who was murdered along with Mayor George Moscone (Victor Garber) by disgruntled city supervisor Dan White (Josh Brolin) in 1978.
