Synopsis

Carrying forward an ancestral practice, Mama Sarahn and Sekesa, two formidable Black midwives, provide safe home births for families in Atlanta, Georgia. Forced to work underground in a state where home-birth midwives cannot be licensed, they lead a campaign to change the law. Through intimate birth scenes, captured in timeless black and white, the film follows their fight for recognition against the backdrop of a maternal health crisis that disproportionately impacts Black women.

Director: Abigail Hopkins

Year: 2024

A story about cancer, trauma, healing and hope. Two years have gone by since ABIGAIL was diagnosed with Stage Three Colorectal Bowel cancer. Whilst earlier video diaries look at her cancer treatment, "Under This Sky", expands ABIGAIL’S story by using the camera and recorder as her “eyes” and “ears” to document her personal cancer survivorship, her creative and healing process and the world around her. Using eclectic filmmaking styles, "Under This Sky" explores our relationship with ourselves, each other and our world.
