<div><strong>SYNOPSIS:</strong>
</div>
<div>When Tania and Jerome discover they’re expecting, their world fills with hope and possibility. But as labour begins, that joy collides with a strained maternity system where Tania’s pain and concerns are repeatedly dismissed. Trapped between fear and faith, Jerome is forced to fight to be heard—advocating for his wife in a labour ward that refuses to listen.

<div><strong>DIRECTOR STATEMENT:</strong>
</div>
<div><em>While children are born every day, every child’s birth story is unique. I believe medical professionals do their absolute best to care for every patient, but what happens when they are tired? What happens when they are overwhelmed?</em>
</div>
<div><em>What happens when a snap decision is filtered through unaddressed implicit bias? As a filmmaker and a father of three, I feel it is crucial to explore the weight of these moments. Specifically, I want to address the reality for Black women, who—until very recently—were five times more likely to die in childbirth than their white counterparts. This film is an opportunity to witness the human cost of this injustice and the lasting impact it leaves on the families left behind."</em>
