About Aftershock
This documentary spotlights the plight of maternal mortality for Black women through the stories of Shamony Gibson and Amber Rose Isaac. Following their preventable deaths due to childbirth complications, both families galvanize activists, birth-workers and physicians to reckon with one of the most pressing American crises of our time — the US maternal health crisis. According to the CDC, Black mothers in the U.S. die at three to four times the rate of white mothers, one of the widest of all racial disparities in women's health.
We're honored to bring AFTERSHOCK to you. More information about the film is included in the event link. Register for this event to discuss this monumental film and movement together.
