Citizen Ruth

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Cynical black comedy starring Laura Dern. When she's arrested for substance abuse, pregnant persistent offender Ruth Stoops is told by a judge to have an abortion in return for a lenient sentence. The amoral Ruth agrees, but an encounter with a group of pro-life activists changes her mind and puts her in the media spotlight. Review page 46.
Director Alexander Payne (1996)
Premieres: page 41
