A Broken Oath in Reproductive Health

Hippocrites

Now Playing

Hippocrites is a short film that tells the story of a broken oath in reproductive health. The story starts with a young doctor reciting the Hippocratic Oath during his medical school graduation somewhere in 1990s Texas, as well as with a young woman named Rosie living in today's post-Roe world. Rosie's just learned she's pregnant.

As the story unfolds, both face the very challenging situation of access to reproductive care being restricted or banned. The film shines a spotlight on how doctors are being forced to break the oath they solemnly swore to uphold–and on how women's health and lives are increasingly at risk.

It's time to stop the Hippocrisy.
