BIRTH WARS Janet Jarman Director Filip Lein Writer, Producer Janet Jarman Producer Told through deeply personal stories in the trenches of the healthcare sector, “Birth Wars” chronicles a power struggle between doctors and midwives in Mexico about whose vision of childbirth should prevail. The film takes viewers on a journey into two worlds riven by prejudices and antagonism and explores how building bridges between these worlds could help save lives. While doctors rule over a medical system that aims to be safe and efficient, women often feel disrespected, and their health and well-being suffers. The film follows midwives and doctors in Guerrero and Chiapas, two of Mexico’s most marginalized and violent states, as they fight against huge odds to transform this system towards one centered on respect for a woman’s health, needs and choices.
