The director Tony Kaye is well known for his movie “American History X” (1998).

The movie stars Edward Norton and Edward Furlong. Norton was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance. To remind the story of the movie: reformed neo-Nazi Derek Vinyard(Edward Norton) is released from prison after serving only three years (on a manslaughter charge) for murdering two young black men he caught breaking into his car. The film centers on Derek's decision to sever ties with his racist past whilst trying to keep his brother from following in his footsteps. The film also centers on events that lead him to change his views about other "races". It also has major elements similar to those of Ovid's Pygmalion Myth.

For this year, Tony Kaye is preparing for the launch his latest film, a documentary about abortion called "Lake of Fire".

In the film the director presents an abortion procedure, complete with the remains of a fetus. Although the material is presented clinically, it's the type of imagery that pro-lifers use to support their contention that abortion is murder.

"The film opens as a pro-life film," Kaye concedes. That early footage of an actual abortion "sets up an interesting bar as to how you come back from that, but I think the film does. In the end, you are in a gray area, really. There is a woman who has an abortion, and it's obviously the right choice for her, but there's also a sense of loss as well. It's ironic."

That’s to much of teaser in the words of the director. Here is more, the trailer. Let’s watch it and think again how important is the main idea of the movie for the human being and for her morality. This movie will definitely leave a mark on you.
