Ovary Action, The Abortion Pill: there’s a series that will get the name, Broadly, buzzing throughout the world. And here’s a question to make sure the buzz is loud: “Why is it so hard to get a medical abortion when so much research has shown that it’s a safe, effective way to terminate a pregnancy?”

Ovary Action is the feature documentary series that launched Vice’s new women’s channel, Broadly, launched on August 3.

It explores the medical abortion, the non-surgical procedure that induces a miscarriage through a cocktail of pharmaceutical drugs, that is both widely legal and increasingly hard to obtain for women around the globe. Broadly travelled from Texas to Poland to Mexico to uncover the limits of what might be a breakthrough in making access to abortions easier.

And Broadly is the channel that caters to an international audience of young people, providing daily editorial and video covering subjects that span politics, culture, sex, and fashion.

Broadly intends to be provocative. It intends to be eye-opening…

..It intends to be popular. Other launch editorials include an investigation into the cyber attacks against Planned Parenthood, an editorial history of the fedora, and a daily marijuana column at 4:20PM.

Broadly Meets is its no holds-barred interview show, digging into the lives of favourite stars and world-changing women to really see what makes them tick and what inspires them.

Style and Error makes the high-end, aspirational elements of the fashion industry more accessible by “getting super deep with the superficial”. It will feature the real people in fashion’s image-drenched landscape and create candid moments in an industry that’s typically staged.

Forthcoming series and documentaries include:

GANGS, a series which explores how women all over the world band together over common interests to form all-female collectives within their communities.

Samburu: Land of No Men, a full-length documentary that travels to Kenya to meet the women tribe who were abandoned by their community and formed one of their own.

Broadly’s editor In chief and director of content, Tracie Egan Morrissey, noted, “New media has been a game-changer for feminism—its appeal is palpable. We can no longer be told that it’s not relevant or that we’re just imagining things. And so now is the time to elevate the coverage of women’s interests by telling the stories that matter to us through in-depth, original reporting and documentary video. We aren’t going to hold our breath and wait for mainstream outlets to meet our expectations. We’re just going to do it ourselves.”

Broadly’s publisher, Shanon Kelley, added, “The same principals VICE applies to its storytelling will also apply to everything Broadly will do – we’re telling original stories you can’t find anywhere else, in the same voice and tone as that of our audience. Building Broadly from the ground up with Tracie and our amazing team, along with the complete support of everyone at VICE has been an absolutely amazing experience. I can’t wait for the world to see Broadly.”

Broadly is launching with the support of Unilever. Find out more about that, and Vice, here.
