Lena Dunham launches animated Planned Parenthood film


18 01 2017

US actress, writer, producer, and director Lena Dunham has partnered with JJ Abrams's Bad Robot production company to launch a star-studded animated film for Planned Parenthood.

100 Years recounts the history of Planned Parenthood in honour of its centennial, using the voices of prominent actors to talk about major moments from its first century. Voiceover stars include Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Gina Rodriguez, Mindy Kaling, America Ferrera, Constance Wu, Amy Schumer, Hari Nef, Andrew Rannells, Sasheer Zamata and Tessa Thompson. Dunham commented 'Our goal was to create a piece of art that can educate Americans not just about what Planned Parenthood does but on the battles that have been fought in order to get here. We are now tasked with embodying the spirit of these fighters once more. I am so grateful for my remarkable collaborators, who are strong enough to speak out for what is right and use their talents to change the status quo'.
