Ask for Jane is a 2018 American historical drama film created and produced by Cait Cortelyou, and written and directed by Rachel Carey. The film stars Cait Cortelyou, Cody Horn, Sarah Ramos, Sarah Steele and Sophie von Haselberg.[1]
The film is based on the true story about the Jane Collective, an underground abortion network which was active in Chicago between 1969 and 1973.
