In the spring of 1972, police raided an apartment on the South Side of Chicago where seven women who were part of a clandestine network were arrested and charged. Using code names, fronts and safe houses to protect themselves and their work, the accused had built an underground service for women seeking safe, affordable, illegal abortions. They called themselves Jane.
Directed by Oscar®-nominee Tia Lessin and Emmy®-nominee Emma Pildes, THE JANES offers first-hand accounts from the women at the center of the group, many speaking on the record for the first time.
