“40 is an emotionally powerful and intellectually stimulating must-see movie.”
Movieguide, The Family Guide To Movie Reviews

40 is one of the most compelling pro-life movies ever produced. The film is an inspirational movie that examines the effects of abortion on our nation over the last 40 years since Roe v. Wade and reports on the tragedy of abortion in the African-American and Hispanic communities. The documentary presents abortion as the most important human and civil rights issue of our time.  40 gives voice to both sides fairly and lets women speak for themselves through experience on the reasons for their firm convictions about abortion.  40 highlights well-reasoned secular arguments against the pro-choice position and provides heartfelt testimonies from post abortive women and men. 40 also reports on the life saving-efforts of 40 Days for Life and the youth at the annual March for Life as the generation that will end abortion.

40 features some of the biggest names in the pro-life movement including, David Bereit and Shawn Carney, Co-Founders of 40 Days for Life,  Lila Rose, the President of Live Action, Abby Johnson, Former Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinic Director and Founder of “And Then There Were None,” Rebecca Kiessling, Pro-life Speaker and Conceived in Rape,Jeanne Monahan, President of March for Life Education and Defense Fund, Dr. Alveda King, Director of African-American Outreach-Priests for Life, Star Parker, Founder and President of CURE, Dr. Day Gardner, President of the National Black Pro-Life Union,Ryan Bomberger, Founder of Radiance Foundation, Joe Scheidler, Founder of the Pro-Life Action League, Kelsey Hazzard, President of Secular Pro-Life and many more!

“America has spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness following the unjust Roe v. WadeSupreme Court decision that imposed abortion on all 50 states. But today, the tide is turning, and our nation is on the verge of becoming a promised land, where the unalienable right to life is once again protected for every member of our human family. The groundbreaking film, 40,chronicles this sweeping cultural transformation, providing great hope through expert interviews, cutting-edge science, profound insights and shocking revelations. Every person of faith and conscience needs to watch this powerful film immediately and then take action. Hundreds of thousands of lives depend upon it.” – David Bereit, National Director of 40 Days for Life
