Brittany Snow on Changing People's Perceptions with Her Oscar-Nominated Short Film About Abortion

Brittany Snow talks to PEOPLE about her short film, 'Red, White and Blue,' which earned a nomination at the 2024 Oscars. The short, written and directed by Nazrin Choudhury, is about a single mom who crosses state lines in search of an abortion.
