Bears for Life, an anti-abortion organization, is holding a screening of "Maafa 21" at 7 p.m. Thursday in Morrison Hall 100 at Baylor University.
The documentary, which was released on June 15, 2009, discusses the effects of abortion on the African-American community.
It was directed by Mark Crutcher, the founder of Life Dynamics, an anti-abortion organization headquartered in Denton.
Bears for Life chose to show this documentary in February because it is Black History Month, said Houston junior Rachana Chhin, Bears for Life president.
"Maafa" is Swahili for "tragedy," and the number "21" refers to the 21st century.
The documentary title indicates the tragedy of the 21st century is the aborting of African-American infants.
The documentary is about the dark side of Planned Parenthood, Mesquite junior and Bears for Life member Phuong Luu said.
The film delves into the history of the American eugenics movement that
began in the early 20th century when slavery was abolished.
