Michael Enright brings us the Abortion Caravan with a guest appearance by Pierre Elliott Trudeau

Last Sunday, the day before International Women’s Day, The Sunday Edition, a CBC Radio 1 show, pre­sented an amaz­ing doc­u­men­tary (by Karin Wells) on the Abortion Caravan, a group of 35 women who drove in three cars from Vancouver to Ottawa (arriv­ing on Mother’s Day week­end), orga­nized a huge demon­stra­tion on Parliament Hill where they demanded access to abor­tion, infil­trated par­lia­ment and chained them­selves to chairs and then began shout­ing dur­ing Question Period, until Parliament was shut down, and, a few weeks later, met in Vancouver with an angry Pierre Trudeau and man­aged to leave him speechless.

A fab­u­lous doc­u­men­tary that took up the first hour of the show and that you can lis­ten to here.
