Late in 2018, the motion picture Gosnell stormed into movie theaters across the country. The movie had a limited run, at least in the local theater where I viewed it.
The film, which came out on DVD Feb. 5, ranked at the top in online pre-sales, taking the No. 1 spot for drama DVDs and the No. 3 spot for overall DVD sales on Amazon, according to the Daily Wire.
It is very unfortunate that the movie did not have a much wider audience. The message of the movie needs to be seen by all Americans. Interestingly, the movie offers an example of the unreliability of the main stream media in how it covered this important murder trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell.
Gosnell is rated PG-13 for mature thematic content, including disturbing images and descriptions. (Check out Focus on the Family’s “Plugged In” for another Christian review.)
Gosnell centers around the 2011 investigation, trial, conviction and sentencing of the Philadelphia abortionist for the murder of newborns and one woman. While the movie is not produced in a documentary style, the film is based on a true story.
Kermit Gosnell apparently believed that he was doing a good work on behalf of mothers in killing their babies, relieving them of responsibility for caring and nurturing them.
It was not easy to get this film produced or distributed. Hollywood did not want to touch this movie because it went against their pro-abortion and radical liberal ideology. It was difficult in finding a distributor as well.
The makers of this movie used Internet-based funding sources to make the movie. They eventually were able to get the movie distributed.
Dean Cain, known for his role in Superman, was the lead character playing the detective involved in the case investigating Gosnell. Cain did a superb and very believable job of acting.

The movie tells the behind the scenes story of the investigation and the trial that was not brought out in our nation’s predominately fake news media. The main stream media left out major parts of the story in their “reporting.”

The movie also gives a glimpse of the negative results and impact on the public’s health, safety and welfare that occur when facilities that do abortion are given preferential treatment and not regularly inspected as compared to other out-patient medical facilities.
The film is worth seeing, either by rental, streaming or purchase. It is educational and gives the world a glimpse of the gruesome underbelly of the highly suspect abortion industry.
Overall Gosnell was well done and worth the time invested in watching.
The underlying message of the movie, to me, was that it dramatizes the need to totally abolish the heinous abortion procedure, because abortion encourages man’s inhumanity to man. Kermit Gosnell was not an anomaly or an outlier, I believe that he is the tip of the iceberg that marks much of the abortion industry today.
I would recommend the movie to anyone and give it 5 of 5 stars .
