MIDWIVES
ON THE FRONTLINES
THE
DELIVERY
LINE
On the edge of life, on the frontlines of conflict and crisis,
women are still giving birth and midwives are risking everything to help them.
A feature documentary film
THE DELIVERY LINE reframes and re-examines some of our most overwhelming global issues - migration, crime, poverty, climate change and war - through one of life’s most joyous experiences: childbirth. From Central Asia and Africa to the Americas, the film follows midwives on the front lines, as they help women give birth in the most challenging of environments. Right now, women are dying in childbirth in shockingly high numbers, and midwives are often their only hope for survival.
