Facing a growing far-right extremist movement, Human Shield is an intimate portrait of abortion clinic escorts protecting vulnerable patients as they endure one of the most hostile 30-second walks of their lives. Told through the perspective of three clinic escort leaders, this film investigates the struggle to maintain safety and balance mental exhaustion on the front lines of America’s longest culture war.
