This short film communicates women's joy in birth and motherhood, as well as their sorrow over the loss of babies, the deaths of sisters, daughters, friends, aunts and cousins. Its vibrant contemporary soundtrack reflects both women's courage and pain.
In 2003, award winning journalist Brigid McConville and her colleague Dr. Gwyneth Lewis, advisor to WHO, gathered the testimony of mothers and midwives in villages and slums across Africa and South East Asia. The title comes from all those who spoke of a sister - or aunt, or cousin, or friend - who had died as a result of pregnancy.
