BIRTH IN TWO NATIONS
from New School: Arts & Culture
When it comes to delivering babies in the good ole USA for Black women, you will find that we are living in two very different America's when you look at the infant mortality rate. Producer Amber Worsley talks with mothers and doulas about their experiences in and outside hospitals in an attempt to find out the secret behind the statistics. Special thanks to Ranjani Chakraborty and Vox for their short documentary, The US medical system is still haunted by slavery, whose research I used for this story, along with the research you can find at CDC.gov.
