Director Nick Loeb Discusses Political Drama Roe v. Wade

Roe v. Wade is a 2020 American political legal drama film produced, written and directed by Nick Loeb and Cathy Allyn. It serves as a dramatization of the 1973 landmark decision, Roe v. Wade, rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court on the issue of the constitutionality of laws that criminalized or restricted access to abortions. The film stars Jon Voight, Stacey Dash, Jamie Kennedy, Joey Lawrence, Corbin Bernsen, John Schneider and Robert Davi. Loeb also stars as Bernard Nathanson, a gynecologist who co-founded the abortion rights organization National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (NARAL) and later became a anti-abortion movement advocate.

The film premiered as part of the 2020 Vienna Independent Film Festival, where legendary actor Jon Voight won the Best Supporting Actor award.

Director Nick Loeb met with journalist Ekaterina Shevliakova to discuss why he chose to make a film on the hot button topic of abortion, it’s success throughout film festivals, and his future film projects as COVID-19 subsides and the film industry get back normal.
