The animation exposes the Black maternal health crisis through two storks’ contrasting journeys, showing that Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. Made with over three thousand hand-painted frames, the film was screened in Congress during Black Maternal Health Week to support the Momnibus Act.
