The Devil Is Busy - Comments & Tips

The editing is OK. Choosing that lady who contradicts herself was not. I was glad seeing those disciples of Christ preaching. God bless them.

As an atheist, the whole abortion debate is something I will probably never fully understand. Of course, there has to be a limit somewhere as to when a pregnancy can be terminated, but a “higher power” should certainly not play any role in setting this limit. The short documentary “The Devil Is Busy” shows how bad the situation has become in the US for women who want or need to have an abortion. Not only do they have to travel extremely long distances, but once they arrive, they also have to put up with being harassed by a bunch of fanatics. However, the documentary doesn’t really reveal anything new. The problems are well known, and it's not exactly a topic that's under the radar when it comes to public debate. In that sense, the film is not particularly groundbreaking.

Frustrating and effective. 2025 (98th) Academy Award nominations: Best Documentary Short Film

This made me sad. Crazy to think that they are just trying to help people and are getting so much crap for it.
