Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

I am looking to see this...

Family Life, a.k.a. Wednesday’s Child (Kestrel Films, U.K.,
1971). Dir Ken Loach. Wrt David Mercer, from his TV play "In Two
Minds." With Sandy Ratcliff, Bill Dean, Grace Cave, Malcom Tierney,
Hilary Martyn, Michael Riddall. (108 min, Technicolor, 35mm)

In this rarely seen early drama by British director Ken Loach, the
generation gap between an emotionally confused teenage girl and her
rigid, puritan-minded parents serves as the backdrop for the film’s
austere "cinéma vérité" style. Janice, an otherwise normal young woman,
suffers a breakdown after having an abortion and winds up in a state
medical hospital. Her unruly behavior (she throws tantrums, destroys
objects, and has extreme mood shifts) embarrasses her parents, who make
weekly visits to demonstrate their love, in spite of Janice’s
unacceptable behavior. Reminiscent of European, documentary-inspired
films of the ‘60’s, Family Life focuses less on character development and drama, and more on revealing the subtle complexities that undercut family life.
