Anti-abortion protestors stand outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Portland, Maine in February.
As abortion access continues to come under threat in Congress, women who are trying to access the procedure are regularly confronted with anti-abortion harassment and vitriol outside of clinics nationwide. Planned Parenthood’s new virtual reality video, “Across the Line,” aims to show just how intense that experience can be.
The 8-minute video opens with a patient meeting her doctor, and recovering from the harassment she was victim to on the sidewalk.
The video uses VR and CGI animation to show what the experience of being harassed is like from the patient’s perspective. On her way into the building, she hears misogynist insults and manipulative and inaccurate medical information about why she should carry her pregnancy to term.
“I’m so sorry you had to go through that,” her doctor says.
