ARREST THE MIDWIFE (2025) SXSW 2025


This is the story of how midwives in New York and Pennsylvania that serve the Mennonite and Amish communities were arrested for practicing with out a license. The issue is that while the women have training and certification that is good in 37 states, it isn’t good in New York.

This is a heartbreaking film about how some states are not best serving their communities. In an age where deaths related to births are on the rise, removing the people who can help keep women and babies alive helps speed the growth of healthcare deserts. While I understand the need for oversite, the fact that the states won’t act to change the laws is frightening.

This is a  film that you should see because it will have you asking a lot of important questions.
