Program Description

Details

Childbirth is often a communal process, with a team of nurses, doctors and loved ones simultaneously witnessing the miracle of life. In one Philippines hospital, "communal" is an understatement. Ramona S. Diaz's latest film, Motherland, takes us into one of the busiest maternity wards on Earth.

Filled with warmth, humor and heartache, Motherland is a vérité portrait of childbirth--with all its joys and challenges depicted on screen.

Come celebrate Mother's Day with this intimate look at where motherhood begins.

This event is a collaboration with POV, PBS' award-winning non-fiction film series. http://www.pbs.org/pov
