"Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer" is a true crime drama film released in 2018 and directed by Nick Searcy. The movie is based on the real-life investigation and trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, an abortion provider who was convicted of multiple counts of murder and illegal activities related to his Philadelphia-based clinic.
The film tells the story of Detective James "Woody" Wood (played by Dean Cain), who is assigned to investigate a complaint about Dr. Gosnell's clinic. Upon arriving at the clinic, Woody discovers a gruesome scene that forces him to collaborate with Assistant District Attorney Alexis McGuire (played by Sarah Jane Morris) to build a case against Dr. Gosnell.
As the investigation deepens, Woody and Alexis uncover evidence of illegal late-term abortions, unsanitary conditions at the clinic, and the murder of infants who were born alive during the procedure. Throughout the trial, Gosnell's defense team fights aggressively to prove his innocence, while the prosecution builds a compelling case against him.
The movie has been praised for its realistic portrayal of a high-profile trial and for raising important ethical questions about the morality and legality of abortion. "Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer" has also been criticized for its politically sensitive subject matter, but it has been successful in bringing attention to a case that received little media coverage when it happened.
