- Summary:
- Playfully updating the 1950's school documentary, this award-winning film offers up political and social satire regarding the current state of reproductive rights in a fast-paced sweet to swallow spoonful. Found-footage, animation and original images are interwoven into a collage containing the fictional stories of a conservative politician, a young couple, and a fundamentalist activist along with the decline in amphibian populations and the insidious creeping erosion of reproductive rights in the United States. All linked together through a Chinese dry cleaner.
