MONSTER
A short by Benjamin Wilbanks
A desperate father-to-be faces the medical professional who took his child’s life.
The operator of an abortion clinic comes face to face with a would’ve-been father when he uses force to find answers to what happened to his child.
Dr Lilly’s tranquility is interrupted by a shooter at the women’s clinic where she works. Fearing for her life she hides in her office only to discover the gunman already inside, and seeking answers to what happened to his child. Adam had looked forward to becoming a father but an argument with his girlfriend led her to the decision to terminate the pregnancy. Frustrated, Adam storms the abortion clinic at gunpoint to find out how and why his future as a father has been denied.
This ten-minute, two-character short film will not be pleasant nor fun to watch - but will demonstrate how American culture and politics displaces the man’s position as a father and husband.
The expectation is for MONSTER to be available for pro-life ministries and missions to share at their own discretion. It’s not everyone’s “cup of tea” but it will deal with an aspect of the abortion conversation rarely had - the impact on the father.
