In recognition of Black Maternal Health Week, the AU College of Nursing and AU Libraries are presenting a screening of “Aftershock” (2022), a documentary addressing the American crisis of maternal health, and specifically the disparities related to maternal health.

This award-winning film by Paula Eiselt and Tonya Lewis Lee documents the efforts of two families that lost members to preventable birth complications as they become activists in the birth justice movement.

The movie is approximately one hour and 30 minutes long. The screening is open to the public and will take place in the Caroline Marshall Draughon Auditorium on the ground floor of the Ralph Brown Draughon Library.
