‘Catching Babies’ represents different narrative of women’s healthcare, childbirth

November 10, 2015

Jameson screened “Catching Babies,” a documentary celebrating the power of birth, women and midwives. The film followed individual stories of several women who chose to receive their prenatal and reproductive health care at a midwife-run clinic in El Paso, Texas.

“(This film) brings awareness to women’s reproductive health choices and health justice,” said Patrice Williams, School of Arts and Sciences and Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy senior.
