This compassionate and feminist documentary, directed by the duo of Sarah Noa Bozenhardt and Daniel Abate Tilahun, goes into rural Ethiopia and follows the staff of a local health center fighting maternal mortality and bringing obstetric services to the women who need them. Among Us Women places the voices of the women front and centre as they identify the physical, cultural and structural factors that prevent them from accessing medical care during pregnancy and childbirth. It also bears witness to the resourcefulness and support groups that women have built for themselves across generations.
Among Us Women
In the village of Megendi, childbirth is changing. Caught in the midst of the shift, a community of women grapple with their connection to themselves, their bodies, and each other.
