DOCUMENTARY
Wise Women
Nicole Scherg
In the course of a lifetime, midwives often accompany more than a thousand deliveries: whether in the icy cold of Siberia,
the tropical humidity of Mexico or during a home birth in Vienna; in a high-tech operating theatre in Dubai or in Malawi where
every delivery is a miracle. Wise Women follows midwives to these often inaccessible places, enabling us to experience and
live through existential moments captured in breathtaking images.
Their personal stories mirror the political and economic situation in the respective countries, allowing us a peek at the value systems and positions of women in their societies.
