MIDWIVES
Myanmar, Deutschland, Kanada 2022 – Director: Snow Hnin Ei Hlaing – Studio Talk, with English subtitles, our guest: Ulla Lehmann (prod.)
A village in western Myanmar: two midwives, one a Buddhist, the other a Muslim Rohingya, work side by side in a tiny clinic. Surrounded by angry mobs, burning houses and bombings, they do not allow themselves to be discouraged from doing what is important to them in life. An impressive long-term study that is intense and moving. Selime Schauer-Altinbilek
