CRYSTAL LAKE—Right to Life McHenry County and Pro-Life Champions have teamed up to present the documentary — “40” — an inspirational movie that examines the effects of abortion on our nation over the last 40 years.

It was produced by John Morales and endorsed by David Bereit of 40 Days for Life and Father Rocky

Hoffman of Relevant Radio. It was previously shown on EWTN Television.

The film is age appropriate for Grade 8 and above.

“40 is an emotionally powerful and intellectually stimulating must-see movie., says Movieguide, The Family Guide To Movie Reviews.

The film presents abortion as the most important human and civil rights issue of our time. “40” gives voice to both sides fairly and lets women speak for themselves through experience on the reasons for their firm convictions about abortion.

“40” highlights well-reasoned secular arguments against the pro-choice position and provides heartfelt testimonies from post-abortive women and men.

The film also reports on the youth at the annual March for Life as the generation that will end abortion.

It features inspiring stories and deeply personal interviews with many of the biggest names in the Pro-Life movement, such as: Lila Rose, the president of Live Action; Dr. Alveda King, Director of African-American Outreach, Priests for Life; Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood abortion clinic director; Rebecca Kiessling, Pro-life speaker on being conceived in rape; Jeanne Monahan, president of March for Life Education and Defense Fund; Dr. Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union; Ryan Bomberger, founder of Radiance Foundation; Keith Mason, co-founder of Personhood USA; Joe Scheidler, founder of the Pro-Life Action League; David Bereit, National Director of 40 Days for Life, Kelsey Hazzard, president of Secular Pro-Life, and others.

Actress Jennifer Cadena narrates the film, and award-winning media composer Sean Beeson wrote the original music scores.
