The Center of Excellence for Maternal and Child Health is hosting a screening of the documentary, Birthing Justice, a film created by Women in the Room Productions. The film captures the experiences and challenges of Black women, their families, caretakers and advocates, and examines the structures and systems that determine disparate rates of mortality. Ultimately, this pivotal film celebrates the efforts to fix America’s broken medical system and transform this narrative of tragedy into one of hope. The showing of the film will be followed by a discussion panel of local advocates in the field of maternal health. The event will be held at the Milken Institute School of Public Health in Auditorium 100. The FREE event will be held on Friday, March 24th from 1 - 4 pm.
