Among Us Women

The film aims to reach rural farming communities, urban areas, and healthcare professionals in Ethiopia and other regions grappling with maternal mortality. It follows a young expectant mother, a traditional birth attendant, and a medically trained midwife, highlighting the contrasts in midwifery and health system challenges. The film fosters dialogue and emotional connections, bridging gaps in a sector dominated by hierarchies. Early community screenings have shown its potential to engage mothers, midwives, and traditional birth attendants all together to reduce maternal mortality. With dubbed versions in various African languages and adaptations for communities with visually and hearing-impairment, we aim for broad outreach.
