Rating Summary
The 1916 Project adapts Seth Gruber’s book of the same name and features contributors including Eric Metaxas, Jack Hibbs, and William J. Federer. The documentary traces the establishment of Planned Parenthood in 1916 by Margaret Sanger, who advocated for limiting reproduction among those she described as mentally and physically defective. It examines connections between eugenics initiatives and subsequent developments in abortion practices, euthanasia, sex education programs, and elements of critical race theory.
Dear Heavenly Father, forgive my idleness in the face of such abominable evil. In Your Name, I repent of my weakness and selfishness. Lord, I again commend my body and spirit to Your Word. Please God, use me to Your purposes. Guide my mind and hands in all things, but most especially in scraping clean this cancer that is abortion that we as a people have allowed to metastasize throughout our society and the world that You have given unto our stewardship.
I thank You, Lord, for the sword of knowledge that has been placed in my hand. Humbly, I ask for the wisdom to wield it and the strength to unsheath it in Your Name, even should it be in the face of my earthly destruction. For I know that through the Blood of the Lamb, only my body can be laid asunder and that a place for me has already been set at your eternal table.
Amen
The 1916 Project REVIEW
Human history is littered with the victims of our avarice and arrogance, but for all of our creative depravity, few of mankind's atrocities rival the millions of tiny, defenseless lives that have been snuffed out in the 20th and 21st centuries in the name of bumper sticker slogans by brainwashed mothers and cowardly and weak fathers.
With grace and skill, The 1916 Project sifts through the poisonous soil that has nurtured modernity's callousness toward our most vulnerable. Even for those like myself, who already knew much about the history of Planned Parenthood and its demonic founder, Margaret Sanger, narrator and Pro-Life warrior, Seth Gruber, and his team manage to paint such a clear picture of the ideological rot that it feels freshly horrifying even to the well-informed.
Rather than relying solely on shock imagery or emotional appeals, The 1916 Project grounds its argument in historical documentation, interviews, and unflinching moral clarity. It doesn’t merely expose Planned Parenthood’s origins—it indicts the cultural shift that allowed such ideas to flourish, drawing a straight line from Sanger’s eugenic ambitions to the sanitized language of “choice” that pervades our politics today.
The 1916 Project should be played for every congregation of every church and synagogue in America.
P.S. Every month, Worth it or Woke gives a portion of its earnings to Pre Born Ministries, whose mission is to "glorify Jesus Chris by leading and equipping pregnancy clinics to save more babies and souls." They provide free ultrasounds as well as prenatal and postnatal support to expectant mothers. They've found that, given the chance to see their babies, mothers choose life over 80% of the time. $28 pays for a single ultrasound and gives an otherwise helpless miracle an 80% of life. Please, even if you only have a dollar to spare, consider donating to Pre Born today.
P.P.S. While we have been long time supporters of Pre-Born, the documentary was produced by The White Rose Resistence, another pro-life organization, and if, after watching The 1916 Project, you feel called to do so, please consider them as well. You can find out more about their organization and how to donate here.

Thanks for the review! Pre-born is great, but why not support The White Rose Resistance, the non-profit producers of The 1916 Project Film, at the1916project.com and thewhiterose.life.
Because, we’ve been open supporters of Pre-born for quite some time. We’ve researched it, done our due diligence and are completely comfortable recommending it. I’m sure that The White Rose Resistance is great, and would encourage you to donate to any and all pro-life organizations that you can.
It’s nothing personal, just a matter of consistency and comfort. We’ve amended the review to include The White Rose’s site.
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
