After Tiller is a documentary focusing on the controversial subject of third-trimester abortions. Dr. George Tiller was one of its few practitioners in the United States before he was assassinated in 2009. The documentary differentiates itself from ‘issue’ films through its goal to elucidate the subject in a non-reductive manner.

Directors Martha Shane (Bi the Way) and Lana Wilson brought the film to Hot Docs 2013 and joined us at Bar Neon in Bloordale for a discussion of the misunderstood topic, their methodology in tackling the subject and their relationship to the women featured in the film. This interview was conducted by our friend, Kiva Reardon.

Our interview with the co-directors of After Tiller, Martha Shane & Lana Wilson, was conducted in May 2013 and was one of four feature interviews in the fifteenth monthly issue of The Seventh Art as a “video magazine.” It was released in October 2013 as part of our Hot Docs 2013 coverage, which includes interviews with Lucy Walker, Alex Winter, the Ross brothers, Matt Wolf, and Mike Lerner & Maxim Pozdorovkin.
