Industry publications and the news media pretty well ignored “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer,” an independent film which offered the details of the investigation and murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell. Despite the lack of press coverage, the film was the No. 1 indie film in the U.S. on its debut weekend in October, and No. 12 among all box office offerings.

Produced by Phelim McAleer and his wife Ann McElhinney, the film was financed through an unprecedented crowdfunding campaign which raising $2.3 million in 45 days for the production. It also made $3.6 million at the box office.

“On Amazon we were beating ‘A Star is Born’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ even as they are basking in awards season publicity. It’s an amazing performance. It really shows there is a hunger for the truth out there,” Mr. McAleer tells Inside the Beltway...

I know someone (high ranking exec) at Paramount who rejected it outright being a lib. Months later, he told me in private “that was stupid of me”.

This is the movie that will change hardened hearts from being pro to killing innocent babies in the Mama’s womb to knowing that abortion kills an innocent life.

I saw 3, including my friend's great documentary The Creepy Line , but Gosnell stands out in my mind.

Everyone should see this film.

It's a remarkable film.

I did a review of it-and the book, which goes into greater detail-for my channel.

This is from 2 years ago.

The 2 Irish journalists that wrote the book about this case actually interviewed him from prison. He's very delusional.

I had a business friend until I found that she and thousands of women from the U.S went to big pro abortion rallies in Ireland.
