Add Synopsis
Storyline
With a witty, voice-over narration, this short explores the history of the United States as a democracy, founded on personal choice, and guaranteeing its citizens the pursuit of happiness. The argument is framed to explore the pros and cons of allowing abortion, contrasting an immigrant Chinese family, the Lees, with the Adams family, descended of a Founding Father. Beside the Adams and Lee families are frogs, nature's cold-blooded harbinger of climate change, environmental disaster, and loveless reproduction. Will the independent spirit of the American republic - with its trust in individual choice - triumph? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

This film was shown at Lunafest 2003, a film festival celebrating women, and the film was brilliant. It a series of film clips and pictures with a woman narrating. The story is cleverly weaved and the point about freedom of choice in America, especially for women's reproductive rights, builds in a very interesting and meaningful way.
