Elizabeth Banks and Sigourney Weaver star in the trailer for Call Jane. Call Jane is directed by the Academy Award-nominated writer of Carol, Phyllis Nagy, and it features a story inspired by true events. Call Jane takes place in 1968 Chicago, where a woman suffering from complications during her pregnancy joins the real-life Jane Collective, which seeks to provide women with safe abortions. Banks and Weaver head the cast, which also includes Kate Mara, Wunmi Mosaku, Chris Messina, and Cory Michael Smith.
Roadside Flix shared the trailer for Call Jane on YouTube, highlighting the struggle for women's rights and body autonomy. It focuses on Banks' character, Joy, showing how after the Jane Collective helps her, she devotes herself to the cause, which stirs trouble with the police and unrest amongst her family. Check out the trailer for Call Jane below:
Even though Call Jane is set in 1968, the themes and struggles for women's rights feel more relevant than ever. With the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, setting back women's rights by decades, the story present in Call Jane strikes just as true today, presenting relevant commentary. The movie seeks to tell an important real-life story in a way that will impact and inform the current generation who may not know about the Jane Collective and all that the group did. For those moved by the Call Jane trailer, the film debuts in theaters on October 28.
