'Gosnell Movie' Begins Filming

'Gosnell Movie,' one of the largest crowdfunded projects in history, has begun filming. The movie will be shot almost entirely in Oklahoma City.

Gosnell Movie seeks to tell the story of Kermit Gosnell, a former abortionist in Philadelphia who is currently serving a life sentence after being convicted of three counts of murder. Gosnell, and his clinic workers, regularly "snipped" the spines of late-term infants who were born alive following failed abortions in his facility. He was also convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the death of one of his patients, 41-year-old Nepalese immigrant Karnamaya Mongar.

Despite America's usual fascination with serial killers and other morbid crimes, the lack of major media coverage of the Gosnell trial became a story in and of itself.

The movie seeks to fill the gap left by the media to inform the public about Gosnell's atrocities. There is a planned theatrical release, but no date has been revealed just yet.

Gosnell Movie is produced by Phelim McAleer, Ann McElhinney, and Magdalena Segieda, and is being directed by Nick Searcy.
