Dear [name of reporter/editor]:

An award-winning trilogy of documentary films were produced by Oscar nominated filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman: FROM the BACK ALLEYS to the SUPREME COURT & BEYOND, (co-produced with PBS station KTEH-TV), which focuses on the history and meaning of abortion rights. 

On [date], [name one or more of the videos] will be broadcast on Channel [xx] at [time].
OR 
On [date], [name one or more of the videos] will be featured at [describe event]. 

Because we feel that the Trilogy will have a profound impact on the way people feel about and understand abortion in this country, [name of your organization] is planning to hold  [describe the event, i.e. a pre-broadcast screening/hold a series of gatherings in homes/other event that night, or another night].

The Trilogy spans more than a century. WHEN ABORTION WAS ILLEGAL documents the back-alley days, dating from the mid-1800's. FROM DANGER to DIGNITY chronicles the fight to change the laws and profiles underground networks created to provide safe illegal abortions. THE FRAGILE PROMISE of CHOICE takes an unflinching look at where we are now, twenty-seven years after the Supreme Court decision in the case of Roe v. Wade.  Participants who were on the front lines during the pre-Roe days, as well as those actively involved now, speak candidly about their experiences. Intimate interviews with physicians, legislators, clergy, women who went to the back-alleys, and others who lived through those years of criminalized abortion elevate the discussion of abortion from the divisively political to the personal. These films have garnered numerous awards including an Academy Award nomination, an Emmy, and the CPB Gold Medal for Best Documentary. The films in this Trilogy have been praised for transcending rhetoric in order to focus on the human dimension of the abortion issue.
We believe your readers will be interested in and will want to see and hear the stories of those whose lives have been deeply affected by this turbulent era in America's history. If you are interested in [the broadcasts or the event] (possibly add - and want to interview local community members who have also been on the front lines in the battle for reproductive rights, before abortion was legal or are now working or volunteering at clinics), please contact me at [phone number]. 

Sincerely,
