Premiere of Documentary on Birth Control in Wisconsin



There will be a documentary showing at the Orpheum Theatre next week entitled The Defenders - A History of the Birth Control Movement in Wisconsin:

This powerful documentary frames the 70-year history of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin around the broader historical context of the birth control movement throughout time. Learn what it took to gain the right to birth control and safe legal abortion, and what it will take to protect these basic human rights.


Here's the skinny:

Orpheum Theatre, 216 State St., Madison
Light hors d’oeuvres & cash bar
6:30 p.m. - Doors open
7:00 p.m. - Film Premiere
8:30 p.m. - “Talk Back” panel

The Orpheum's website doesn't appear to have been updated to include this event but the hoolie I saw about this indicated that admission is free. For more info on the film, checkout its website.
