National Public Health Week MCH Film Screening and Discussion
Tuesday, April 8, 2025
5:30 PM-7:30 PM
The Maternal and Child Health Student Organization (MCHSO) will be
screening two short yet deeply moving documentaries:
🎥 If Everyone
Knew – A documentary that explores the often-silenced experiences of baby loss
through the stories of three women navigating miscarriage, stillbirth, and IVF
challenges.
🎥 WINN – A
compelling film that follows Pamela Winn, a formerly incarcerated woman turned
activist, as she fights to end the shackling of pregnant individuals in prison
after experiencing a miscarriage while incarcerated.
Following the screenings, MCHSO will host open discussion on reproductive
health, pregnancy loss, and the broader implications of maternal and child
health policies.
The discussion will be led by Dr. Aasta Mehta, Director of the Division of
Maternal, Child, and Family Health at the Philadelphia Department of Public
Health. In addition to her role as director at MCFH, Dr. Mehta is a practicing
obstetrician, advocate, and adjunct faculty member in the MCH Program where she
teaches a course on maternal mortality.
🍿 Popcorn,
snacks, and beverages will be provided!
