Texas women won us the right to abortion then. It’s up to us to win it back now. The Lone Star Three is a documentary about three Texas women whose grassroots work for reproductive justice set the stage for Roe v. Wade.
The Lone Star Three
6:30 – 9:00 pm, Tuesday, August 12
Austin Film Society Cinema
6529 Middle Fiskville Road, Austin, TX 78752
Ticket sales will benefit reproductive justice organizations. A panel discussion will follow the screening. Tickets are still available at this link.
Lone Star Three features Judy Smith, Vic Foe, and Barbara Hines who operated a birth control counseling service and made referrals for abortion care.
I knew all of these women in the 70s. Their courage and leadership changed the world. I’ve written about their work in Substack, and Celebrating The Rag: Austin’s Iconic Underground Newspaper. Seeing Judy, Barbara, and Vic on screen telling their story brings this history to another level.
Mighty Force Productions has done an extraordinary job making this history come to life on film. Lone Star Three tells a timely story about grassroots activism. Roe v Wade didn’t start in a courtroom and the struggle for reproductive justice didn’t end in a courtroom with the Dobbs decision.
See this film!
Bravo to Alice for helping guide this important story to the screen at such a critical time. We need to shine a light on more Texas women heroes!
