Q&A and Discussion - "Battleground" Film and Abortion Politics in America

Posted on Events by Kristi Espineira · June 28, 2022 4:30 PM · 5 reactions

Please join us for a very timely discussion with DA Portugal member Nancy Novack, film editor, and Cynthia Lowen, director, who recently completed work on “Battleground,” a new film about abortion and politics in America. “Battleground” debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in June and is available for online viewing only until July 3. We will hold a Q&A and discussion online with Nancy and Cynthia on Sunday, July 10 at 6 pm.

The film follows three women who lead formidable anti-abortion organizations. We bear witness to their well-organized networks, politically potent activism, and their policy gains under Trump. With first-rate access to protests, conferences, and recruiting campaigns, this may prove to be an illuminating portrayal of anti-abortion advocates for those on the other side of the debate. As Roe has been overturned and numerous states pass unconstitutional abortion bans, the film also depicts those on the front lines of the fierce fight to maintain access to reproductive rights.

You can view the film before streaming access ends on July 3. You will need to use a US-based VPN to access the film and there is a cost of $20. Please RSVP here for instructions on how to access the film and for a link to log in to the July 10 event.

If you are not able to view the film, please RSVP to attend the July 10 discussion anyway. It is sure to be an enlightening and powerful discussion about abortion rights in America, and we will be sharing resources for action and outreach, as well as learning more from Nancy and Cynthia about the film itself.

Learn more about the film at www.battlegroundfilm.org.

Meet Kristi, Democrats Abroad organizer in Portugal

Posted on News by Robert Kerr · June 01, 2020 5:37 AM

Kristi Holmes Espineira's Democratic Party roots cross generations. Growing up, both her parents were professional educators with a strong commitment to working in economically disadvantaged communities with the long term goal of improving American diversity. Throughout the 60s, her mom helped to transition recently integrated schools; her dad worked directly for the Colorado River Indian Reservation in Arizona. Kristi's parents did not regard their work as "political party activism," per se. Rather, their goal was simply and literally to "do what was right." The intrinsic importance of diversity and equality was regularly the focus of dinner table conversations. Kristi's mom remains both socially and politically active today. Among Kristi's favorite "mom" memories is attending together a Barack Obama rally in 2012 and marching together in the Women's March in 2017.

Posted on News by Portugal · November 15, 2019 2:54 AM

The documentary film "The Brink" had its Portugal premiere in Lisbon on October 24, as part of the doclisboa film festival. Over 40 Democrats Abroad members attended the premier to view the film, in which award-winning filmmaker Alison Klayman takes on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, following him for over a year as he tries to promote his brand of extreme nationalism and unite the far-right anti-immigrant parties of Europe.
