This past year, I found myself chief chronicler of the two of the year’s most important stories involving the pro-life movement. One was the inspiring saga of the 2009 March For Life, the largest in its 36-year history. The second was the dispiriting saga of the recently murdered late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller. What the two stories have in common is that each was consciously and completely mistold by the major media.

The media did this for one particular reason: They want their audiences to envision the face of the pro-life movement not as young, diverse, passionate, and idealistic, but as old, weary, cruel, and demented.

On January 22, 2009, I got to see the true face of the movement. I had come to Washington to shoot a documentary to be called Thine Eyes, the first-ever high-end production centering on the annual March For Life.

I was commissioned to create this video to set the media record straight. Although I had not attended the March before, I knew enough about the way the media works to suspect that a little straightening was in order. The media did not disappoint. Their coverage confirmed my most paranoid suspicions and shocked even the apolitical among our crew.

The March itself proved to be as colorful, diverse, and good-spirited a gathering as I have ever seen. We identified contingents from Poland, Italy, Germany, France, Mexico, Canada, and others. We found Rabbis for Life, Anglicans for Life, Lutherans for Life, and even a contingent of black hip-hoppers for life — “Yo mamma/Chose life!”

Although the media would have you believe that the typical pro-lifer is an angry, red-faced fat man of late middle age, some three-quarters of the marchers were under 25. Our rooftop cameramen estimated about 350,000 marchers in all.
