Birthright: Mothering Across Differences
Director, Celine Parreñas Shimizu, The Philippines
Mothering, tremendously the work of women, is understudied, undervalued and underrepresented. BIRTHRIGHT captures the everyday demands a diversity of women distinctly face in mothering. In becoming mothers, women forge alliances and connections, in order to survive the everyday demands that eat them up as well as fuel them with joy.
