Skin Deep
A film by Alexandra Halkin and Deb Ellis
1997, 15 minutes, Color, VHS
Order No. W99584

SKIN DEEP combines views from Norplant users, community health advocates, and experts in a social and political analysis of the use of this new contraceptive technology. As diverse women share their experiences with Norplant, community leaders and public policy activists discuss the issues of informed consent and race and class discrimination raised by the current uses of this powerful drug. "An extremely useful tool for understanding the dangers of coercive birth control policies that reveals the underlying issues of race and poverty propelling debates about reproduction." Dorothy Roberts, Rutgers School of Law
