BIRTH ON THE BORDER (a Women Make Movies release, 2019) explores the narratives of two women from Ciudad Juárez who cross the border legally to give birth in Texas, and the Chicana midwives who support them. Against the backdrop of oppressive U.S. border policy, these women's stories of risk, strength and resiliency reveal the complexities of life on the U.S.-Mexico border.
