February Recap
February has been a busy an exciting month for the Roe Canada film team! Even though we are still quite short of our financial goals the team continues to move forward in faith. Dobbs dealt a catastrophic blow to the pro-death movement. Roe Canada charts the critical path forward to an abortion-free Canada - and the rest of the world. A heartfelt thanks for your support in getting us this far.
Here are some highlights from the past month including news about an early screening:
Roe Canada confronts Trudeau
In what will be one of the more memorable moments in Roe Canada, principal investigator Josie Luetke had a brief but telling encounter with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet on the streets of Hamilton, Ontario. Josie and Ruth were witnessing to life outside the restaurant where the Liberal cabinet was to have dinner. The scene will be featured in the film.
And the story begins…
After successful filming at the Washington, DC, March for Life, Kevin and Josie wasted no time and began the all-important phase of storyboarding the film. The documentary will weave together two narratives. Firstly, Josie and Ruth journey throughout the US and Canada as they attempt to uncover the roadmap to Canada’s version of the June 24th Dobbs victory.
The second story puts a face on the pro-life movement with people like Abby Johnson (former Planned Parenthood clinic director), Jason Jones (Movie to Movement), Sr. Antoniana (Sisters of Life) and Carol Butler (Haldimand Pregnancy Care & Family Centre).
Roe Canada in the Catholic Register
Director Kevin Dunn was interviewed by Canada’s Catholic Register: “True North strong and abortion free". “The protection of children of the womb has been paramount to me not only in my film work, but more importantly as a father and a grandfather,” said the Catholic filmmaker (Kevin Dunn).
“I’ve seen my wife sacrifice in that beautiful time with all the pregnancies of all of our children. It is also not a secret that adoption has touched our family in a big way. The sanctity of life you witness as a father, grandfather and husband just touches you to the soul.”
We got the t-shirt
Josie and Ruth proudly sport their commemorative Students for Life “Roe Reversed” T-shirts at the airport after filming in the USA.
