Description
Summary:
Bangladesh has one of the highest child mortality rates in the world. Children are most likely to die in their first month of life. We follow two young women in Bangladesh who face very different experiences of pregnancy, childbirth and post-natal care. While Morjina only receives support from a traditional dhai, Rashida is lucky enough to live close to a modern health clinic. This is a very moving account of child birth and the terrible consequences of lack of proper care and ignorance in one of the world's poorest countries.
