A documentary about women, midwives, families and political battles told from close up.
Mare Meva has been following the work of three midwives since 2021 in Barcelona. The documentary follows stirring stories of midwives attending births at home, in hospitals, and explains how midwives have transformed women's healthcare.
In 2026, however, 40% of midwives in Catalonia are about to retire and there is no replacement in sight. If nothing is done, we will soon run out of midwives.
Mare Meva explains how a success story faces a key year for its future, and ours.
