Director Rebecca Cammisa discusses her new film, Yours in Freedom, Bill Baird, with fellow Director Tia Lessin and subjects Bill Baird and Joni Baird in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. In the conversation, she discusses how she mixed archival and modern day clips, surprising discoveries she made on her documentary journey, and giving the floor to her subject Bill Baird, he discusses his background and defining moments that drove him to take up his fight for reproductive rights.
The film tells the true story of reproductive rights pioneer Bill Baird, the unsung hero of the birth control battle, who gave up everything — his family, his livelihood, his freedom — in pursuit of women’s rights.
