AgapePress: Pro-Life Voice Thunders in Hollywood Film Review by Rebecca Grace 3/02/06
(AgapePress) - From Hollywood filmmaker Jonathan Flora comes a gripping and emotionally charged thriller about partial-birth abortion. Set as a courtroom drama and titled A Distant Thunder, the 35-minute film enters the desperate mind of pro-choice prosecutor Ann Brown (played by Flora's wife, Deborah) who takes on a partial-birth abortion case, which proves to challenge everything she believes to be true.
The deeper she investigates the case the more she is tormented by evil delusions that are both unnerving and foreboding. Terrifying secrets are exposed that lead to a shocking twist in which the unforeseeable, yet provocative, truth is revealed.
Viewers are likely to be left speechless as the credits roll causing them to reflect on the harsh reality of partial-birth abortion, also known by its medical term "dilation and extraction" or "D&X."
As described by National Right to Life, D&X is an abortion procedure performed on women who are 20 to 32 weeks pregnant in which the unborn baby is grabbed by the legs with forceps and pulled into the birth canal leaving the head inside the womb. While the baby is still alive, scissors are forced into the back of the baby's skull and spread to enlarge the wound into which a suction catheter is then inserted. The brains of the baby are sucked out causing the head to collapse. The dead baby is then removed from the uterus.
"The only difference between partial-birth abortion and homicide is three inches," Brown says in the film.
Because education, wrapped in entertainment, is a driving force behind this motion picture, this procedure is described in similar detail through the characters' dialogue, although not depicted visually.

A Distant Thunder is being distributed by Vision Video and is available in DVD format at that website (Edited: Not sure if it's okay to list phone number). The film is unrated and is not intended to be family-friendly fare. Viewer discretion is advised due to frightening and sometimes graphic scenes.
