180 Documentary
In 2011, Ray made a short documentary on abortion and the Holocaust called 180. In it, he expressed concern that a generation was forgetting the existence of Adolf Hitler and his actions. The documentary included street interviews with people who were asked on their thoughts of the Holocaust. After hearing their reasons, Ray went on to ask the people's views on abortion. By demonstrating people's inconsistencies in their reasoning, he persuaded some of them to change their minds and oppose it. The documentary won a 2011 Telly Bronze Award for film/video.[6]
