Essential Watching: The Fight

If you are interested in our cause and the constant legal battle to protect Americans’ rights, we recommend watching "THE FIGHT"  2020, U.S., 96 minutes.  Rated PG.

At this moment in our nation's history, this 2020 documentary is essential to view. It's a reminder of the myriad of important issues that are at stake in every election.

In 2023, our undemocratic democracy has markedly regressed in protecting our freedoms. We find ourselves marching for the same causes that our parents did when they were our age.

 The Fight celebrates the unsung heroes who fiercely work to protect our freedoms including Brigitte Amiri, ACLU’s Deputy Director of the Reproductive Freedom Project, who has been working closely with the ACLU-KY.

The Kentucky Reproductive Freedom Fund supported The Speed Cinema’s screening of this important film from July 31  – October 4, 2020.

You can also view The Speed Art Museum’s CINEMA+ conversation with Heather Gatnarek, ACLU-KY's Staff Attorney and Brigitte Amiri, Deputy Director of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project on the documentary film, "The Fight," which follows a team of dedicated American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyers who are representing lawsuits challenging recent policies on reproductive rights, immigration, and LGBT rights.
