Show Me the Line - Director Kelsey Ianuzzi

When Alabama's Supreme Court declares IVF embryos are legally children, the immediate fallout devastates families. For acclaimed reproductive journalist and visual artist Abbey Crain, this ruling disrupts half a decade of fertility treatments, placing her dreams of motherhood — and her embryos — in constitutional crossfire. But Crain refuses to surrender her creative power. With a pen and paintbrush, she embarks on a journey to uplift the voices of other grieving families. Driven by unheard stories of joy, anguish, and determination — including her own — Crain invites everyday Alabama women to congregate for a daring demonstration of resilience. SHOW ME THE LINE cuts through the noise of sensational headlines to reveal intimate portraits of the lives behind them. Unpacking history and fertility science, the film reaches the heart of reproductive care across the South. Through the unbreakable spirit of a community in reckoning, SHOW ME THE LINE celebrates connection and hope.
