LOS ANGELES, CA – Oscar-winning actor, Jon Voight sat down with TV host and commentator Ben Mankiewicz for CBS Sunday Morning to provide an in-depth interview of his life and career with his latest project, ROE V. WADE, a film about the true story behind the most famous court case in US history, now available on Amazon Prime, iTunes & PVOD. CBS Sunday Morning with Voight airs Sunday, April 25th at 9:00 a.m.

The film follows the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that guaranteed a women’s right to abortion. Jon Voight plays the role of Justice Warren Burger. “This role was important for me as people have taken termination of pregnancy lightly,” says Voight. Voight said of the Landmark ruling, “You can’t help to wonder what would have been.”

Dr. Bernard Nathanson and Dr. Mildred Jefferson square off in a national battle in this untold conspiracy that led to the most famous and controversial court case in history. “The Truth Comes Out.”  Visit: roevwademovie.com. The film, which was co-written by Nick Loeb and co-directed by Cathy Allyn has been the subject of many controversial headlines over the past few years due to the conservative cast and questionable plot. Following the lead of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, Dr. Bernard Nathanson (played by Nick Loeb) and a team of activists commit to driving the case for the legalization of abortion all the way to the supreme court. They discover a poor, uneducated pregnant girl and convince her to let their legal team take her right to have an abortion into the courts. To persuade the Justices, the team must start a blitz that includes fabricating and feeding fake statistics to the media, creating pro-abortion narratives in Hollywood programming, and funding a revolution that will change America forever.
