POV Fall Film Series

Arrest The Midwife

When trusted midwives are arrested in a tight-knit Amish and Mennonite enclave, a quiet community is thrust into turmoil. With rare access, director Elaine Epstein follows women who defy tradition and become activists, turning a local fight into a national reckoning over maternal health, reproductive rights, and the freedom to choose how and where to give birth. (RT: 90 min)
