Summary:"Birthing Justice" examines the structures and systems that determine the mortality of Black women and their babies. The documentary combines expert commentary with very personal stories of pregnancies and births. Among the women who share their intimate experiences is 11-time Olympic champion, Allyson Felix.
"Birthing Justice" reveals the complex web of causes, including racial bias and structural barriers to healthcare, that has animated the crisis while focusing on both joy and justice.
