About the film
Comedian, disruptor-extraordinaire Lizz Winstead (co-creator of The Daily Show), and Abortion Access Front crisscross the U.S. to support abortion clinic staff and bust stigma. Pop culture icons and next-gen comics fuel this six-year road film activating small-town folks to rebuild vandalized clinics, exposing wrongdoer politicians, anti-abortion extremists, and media neglect as the race to the bottom ensues and our rights burn down. No One Asked You is a bold call to action driven by the power of humor in social change, where joy prevails.

What people are saying
‘"some funny AF abortion activists"‘
Debbie Stoller
BUST Magazine/ What’s up, Doc? 13 Must-See Feminist Films at this year’s DOC NYC Fest
‘"No One Asked You isn’t about sadness, but about the power of everyday women, men, and trans individuals to push forward and never stop. This film isn’t just another entry in the progressive politics genre of documentary filmmaking. It’s truly special - a road trip of grand proportion."‘
Bill Arceneaux
Moviegoing with Bill
‘"...the only abortion doc that’ll make you laugh as much as it’ll make you want to cry. It’s an increasingly dark time for reproductive rights but the doc, directed by Ruth Leitman, insists that just because our world is grim doesn’t mean our activism has to be."‘
Casey Epstein-Gross
Jezebel/ The World Is Grim, But Lizz Winstead Insists Abortion Rights Activism Doesn’t Have to Be
‘"[No One Asked You] takes abortion out of the abstract ideological shout-fest and humanizes the issue."‘
Chris Smith
Vanity Fair/ Abortion is No Joke. Lizz Winstead Begs to Differ
‘"Given the current political climate, No One Asked You is a timely and immediately relevant documentary that is required viewing.‘
Bradley Gibson
Film Threat
‘"A call to action as much as a profile in courage, No One Asked You inspires, even as it terrifies through its hard luck on where we are today."‘
Christopher Reed
Hammer to Nail
‘"Humorous and Urgent"‘
David Ehrlich, Kate Erbland
Indiewire/ DOC NYC 2023: 10 Must-See Films at America’s Biggest Documentary Festival

Elizabeth Weitzman
TimeOut NewYork/ The best films to catch during this year’s DOC NYC documentary film festival
‘This spirit—bubbly drinks and gallows humor—is at the heart of the new documentary No One Asked You, the only abortion doc that’ll make you laugh as much as it’ll make you want to cry. It’s an increasingly dark time for reproductive rights but the doc, directed by Ruth Leitman, insists that just because our world is grim doesn’t mean our activism has to be.‘
Samantha deManbey
‘"Inspiring and hopeful that there's always going to be this voice of revolution, this voice of dissent. A potent reminder of how important our individual voices are, So if you're feeling defeated about this issue and all the other ones affecting people in real-life ways … watch it.”‘
