A ground-breaking documentary entitled, 3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy, which exposes how the state of Pennsylvania covered up the crimes committed in Kermit Gosnell’s “house of horrors” abortion clinic, is showing in theaters on November 10 in selected cities.
One of the most important films of this decade is scheduled to air in 11 theaters across the country on November 10. It contains exclusive interviews with detectives, crime scene investigators, journalists, victims and even Kermit Gosnell himself about what was found inside the late-term abortion clinic Gosnell was running in West Philadelphia.
A raid of the clinic in 2010 by the FBI and Philadelphia Police Department found blood stained floors, a feral cat roaming the examination rooms as well as fetal remains in the staff food freezers and preserved in jars found throughout the clinic. After interviewing employees, they learned that Dr. Gosnell employed a tactic that he called “snipping” which was used on babies born alive after late-term abortions. The technique involved the use of a scissor to snip the baby’s spinal cords.
During his 2011 trial, which convicted him of three counts of first-degree murder, the mainstream media, intent on perpetuating the “safe and legal” abortion myth, bent over backward to conceal the true scope of the horrors found in this clinic. Few even bothered to show up at the trial and had to be shamed into covering the story by media watchdogs.
This is just one of the reasons why this film is so important – because it will expose all that the media was trying to hide from the American public and especially women who are being led to believe that abortion clinics are safe.
The feature length film is an expansion of 3801 Lancaster’s earlier short film about the Gosnell case entitled 3801 Lancaster which won “Best Short Film” at the 2013 Justice Film Festival. Director David Altrogge, producer Jennifer Brown, and cinematographer Michael J. Hartnett have been following the case since it first broke in 2011.
“We can’t forget what happened at Gosnell’s clinic,” said producer Jennifer Brown, “The Pennsylvania Departments of Health and State could have stopped him years ago, but they chose to remain silent. They chose to turn a blind eye and as a result, women and babies died. Our hope is that individuals and organizations all across the country will sign up to host screenings so that as a nation we don’t forget what happened at 3801 Lancaster Avenue.”
Screenings are currently scheduled in Gaithersburg, MD, Greenville, SC, Lititz, PA, Manayunk, PA, College Station, TX, Colorado Springs, CO, Phoenix, AZ, Pittsburgh, PA, Alexandria, VA, San Antonio, TX, and Larkspur, CA.
However, if enough tickets aren’t sold by November 3, these screenings will not take place.
