180: Changing the Heart of a Nation is a 33-minute anti-abortion documentary by Ray Comfort. The title represents the aim to "reverse" people who hold a pro-choice stance to become staunch anti-abortionists. Comfort originally intended to call it Hitler, Religion and the Holocaust.

The film was released on September 26, 2011 and received more than 1 million views on YouTube within a month. Comfort employs the typical fundamentalist canard of attempting to manipulate views by suggesting a historical connection between Hitler, the Holocaust, and whatever the bĂȘte noir du jour is, in this case, abortion. The film's web page says nothing about abortion, just that the film is "[a] shocking award winning documentary" which will "Rock Your World."

In the trailers, Comfort argues that the title of the movie describes the "reverse" of views on abortion he achieves in arguments lasting 33 seconds on average.

The video case and disk give no hint that the video is about the Holocaust or abortion, only the warning, "Public advisory: Graphic content," and vague praise that the film is very moving and inspiring.
