LIFE MATTERS



preview
broadcast
&8220;I decided this was important. This was a place where I could strike a blow for human freedom…for liberty.&8221; —Curtis Boyd, M.D.
In the Sixties, Pentecostal Baptist minister Curtis Boyd left his East Texas pulpit to become a doctor, providing safe abortions before it was legal. A documentary portrait by his son Kyle, LIFE MATTERS offers a myth-shattering look at a father, his times and his community.
