FEATURED FILM
Birth Wars enters a conversation that reaches far beyond one healthcare system.
Who is trusted to care for a birthing person?
Whose knowledge is recognized?
What happens when ancestral practices meet institutional medicine?
The film offers a close look at the people working within these tensions—and at the possibility of building bridges between worlds that have too often been placed in opposition.
