The traditional midwives of Isiolo, rural Kenya
This documentary by Barbara Rogoff focuses on the life of a Mayan woman who was born to be a midwife. It shows how people both contribute to and are shaped by their cultural communities. Across this midwife's lifetime, her town changed dramatically but at the same time it maintained Mayan ways that have been practiced for centuries.
