1972 is a world-premiere rock opera by musician-activist Chadwick Stokes of DISPATCH and State Radio and Jessie Nelson, directed by Nelson. A pregnant Hannah flees an abusive relationship and finds unexpected camaraderie with three outcasts riding the rails of America, outrunning ghosts of their own. After barely escaping an illegal abortion, she meets the Janes, an underground network of courageous women who risk everything to provide a choice to women with nowhere to turn. Inspired by true stories of these hidden heroes, the rock opera fuels the ongoing fight for personal freedom.
