American Delivery Dvd

In the U.S.—where more women die in childbirth than any other wealthy nation—the
joys of pregnancy and motherhood are often overshadowed by fear. Amid a growing
maternal health crisis, especially for women of color, American Delivery is a documentary
that tells the story of the glimmers of hope: women finding their voice and autonomy;
nurses listening to women and offering birth choices; and hospital leaders welcoming the
community as the patient. The film interweaves the stories of women and their families
across the U.S. as they navigate the challenges of pregnancy, mental health, childbirth,
and the postpartum period. It paints a joyous portrait of the moment babies come into the
world, and the heroic efforts of families and communities to catch new mothers before
they fall through the broken healthcare safety net. Composing American Delivery | “I Just Felt Safe” - Maternal Health Solutions in Kentucky | Advancing Maternal Health Equity in Philadelphia | Closing Healthcare Gaps in Rural Areas | Catalyst : Joyce Fitzpatrick | American Delivery Trailer
