AKA Jane Roe is a documentary film that explores the life of Norma McCorvey, the woman behind the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade.

Through interviews with McCorvey and those who knew her best, the film sheds light on the personal and political motivations that drove her to switch sides on the issue of abortion.
The documentary raises questions about the nature of activism, the role of media in shaping public perception, and the impact of personal beliefs on public policy.
