BIRTHING JUSTICE, a feature-length documentary film, centers on the expertise and lived experiences of Black women and their advocates. As cameras follow women through pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period, medical and social justice experts expose the challenges they face—including genetic predispositions, chronic stress, racial bias, culturally ignorant care and barriers to adequate healthcare.

BIRTHING JUSTICE gives Black women, their caretakers and their advocates a voice, a chance to be seen, heard and respected.

We must listen to Black women, for they will tell us what we need to shift the narrative and achieve true birthing justice.

 For more information on the film, the website is: https://www.birthingjustice.com/screenings/
