Giving Birth in America: California (CNN + Every Mother Counts)
Giving Birth in America: California follows the story of pregnancy and immigration in California – a state where pregnant women are eligible for Medicaid regardless of immigration status. The film follows an undocumented farmworker as she seeks care during a high-risk pregnancy, and features the work of Dr. Cristina Gamboa and Salud Para la Gente. The film was distributed on CNN in 2018 and screened at SFFILM’s Doc Stories, Athena Film Festival, and at SXSW.
