After Tiller is a 2013 documentary film directed by Martha Shane and Lana Wilson that follows the only four remaining doctors in the United States who openly perform abortions in the third trimester of pregnancy. In 2015, After Tiller won the News and Documentary Emmy Award for Best Documentary.[3] The title of the film refers to George Tiller, a doctor who performed abortions and was murdered in 2009.[1][4]
The film was met with a positive response from critics[5] and was an official selection for the 2013 Sundance Film Festival,[6] where it won the Candescent Award.[7] It went on to be nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary,[8] four Cinema Eye Honors,[9] a Satellite Award, and the Ridenhour Prize, and named one of the Top Five Documentaries of the year by the National Board of Review.[10] After Tiller was released in theaters across the US by arthouse distributor Oscilloscope Laboratories.
