NARAL Pro-Choice America presented the family of Dr. George Tiller with its Lifetime Achievement Award on February 2, 2010, showing a short video of the slain Dr. George Tiller at its luncheon event.The video, 2.24 minutes in length, is now posted on YouTube.
A moving tribute, the video is without a voice narrative. Instead, music underscores a variety of images of Dr. Tiller, including the one pictured above. Many of the photos are from family and personal collections and show Dr. Tiller throughout his life, with family and friends, traveling, fishing, and even in a Santa Claus costume. The images create a rounded and powerful story of the man who helped so many women from his Kansas medical center. Written text fills in details of some of the images.
One screen says, "He called on us to trust women," and is followed with pictures of a dozen people holding up signs recognizing and repeating his call. Another screen says he will be missed -- and he is.
The video can also be viewed on NARAL's Blog for Choice. (I only wish NARAL would say who made the video.)
