And it was through that 49 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: campaign that I was able to travel the country and 50 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: learn first of all about infant mortality. I didn't realize 51 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: the US at the time when I first started had 52 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: an issue with into mortality in the United States. I 53 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: didn't realize that black babies, like black mothers, are dying 54 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: at three to four times the rate of white babies 55 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: in this country, and I didn't know about so I 56 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: didn't know about the disparity. 57 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 4: So through my travels, I. 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 3: Had the opportunity to meet and talk with lots of women. 59 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 3: Inevitably a woman would tell me a story about a friend, 60 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: a sister, cousin, somebody who had passed away from childbirth complications. 61 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 3: So it had been something that I had been thinking 62 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: about for a while because I was hearing it firsthand 63 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 3: from the community. And then back in twenty seventeen, twenty 64 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 3: eighteen of the New York Times pro Publica started reporting 65 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 3: on the issue of maternal mortality here in this country, 66 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: and it seemed like then was the time to really 67 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: go out there and make this film to raise the 68 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: awareness so that we can do things to bring the 69 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: make for better outcomes. 70 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about that, making the fan, producing it, 71 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: getting the concept in place, because this is a personal 72 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: project from a standpoint, is about African Americans. It's about 73 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: them being at the high end of the mortality rate. 74 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: It's also some history. It tells you. 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: This is a documentary and informs it educates you, especially 76 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: in the end. How would you when you presented this 77 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: project and start producing it. Were there any pushback or 78 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: people didn't understand exactly the message you was trying to 79 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: deliver with aftershock? 80 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting. 81 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: I do think that when we first started working on 82 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: the film, not so much pushback, but I think that 83 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: people did like, what is this really about? 84 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 4: How are you really going to tell the story? 85 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 3: Because it is such a huge systemic issue, And I 86 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: think initially some people thought, well, it's about black women's health, 87 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: so it shouldn't cost so much. 88 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 4: Your budgets too high, bring it down, and we really. 89 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: Felt like the story needed to be told in a 90 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 3: way through people's lived experience, not as a survey film 91 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: just people talking to camera, although we do have a 92 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: couple of experts, and we felt that the film deserved 93 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 3: to be told the right way, and so it would 94 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: cost what it would cost to make it, and we 95 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: stuck to our guns and made the film that we 96 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 3: wanted to make. 97 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: Well, you know, what people don't take in perspective is 98 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: that when you're dealing with emotions, they can't be action. Okay, 99 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: it has to be captured, it has to be it 100 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: has to be authentic, it has to be there for 101 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: the moments. So sometimes hours, sometimes days are put into 102 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: perspective to gather those moments because this is an emotionally 103 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: charged documentary because it involves death. And that's which leads 104 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: to the title after shock, you know, because of the 105 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: fact that you know, you always hear this when children 106 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: die before their parents. They say, no parent wants to 107 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: bury their child. The goal is for the child to 108 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: outlive the parents. And this situation is about relationships. How 109 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: did you encounter the individual that you are featuring in 110 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: your documentary? 111 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really something else. 112 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: Shamani Gibson passed away in October twenty nineteen. In December 113 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, her mother and her mother, Shawnnie Gibson and 114 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: her partner Amari Maynard, decided to have an event that 115 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 3: they called Aftershock, which was essentially a celebration of Shamani's life, 116 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 3: but at the same time, they wanted to have a 117 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: conversation with the community, so they put out an invitation on. 118 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: Social media that we saw. 119 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 3: We reached out to Shannie and to Omari and asked 120 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 3: if we could film, and you know, it was really 121 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: wonderful that they allowed us to come in and film 122 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: because they wanted the word to get out about not 123 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 3: just what happened to Shamani, but about the birthing outcomes in. 124 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 4: The black community. 125 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 3: And Amari was someone who is someone who when he 126 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: hears of a father who has been left behind because 127 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: his partner has passed away from childbirth complications, he reaches 128 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 3: out to them and says, hey, brother, I got you. 129 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 4: I'm here to support you. 130 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 3: And he did that for Bruce mcinto when Amber Rose 131 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 3: Isaac passed. 132 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 4: Away in April of twenty twenty. 133 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: And he reached out to him just to offer support, 134 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: told him about the film, and then Bruce, you know, 135 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 3: joined with us and so and for the same reason 136 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 3: because a week after Amber passed away, Bruce had a 137 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: press conference because he wanted to be in conversation with community. 138 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: He wanted to demand accountability for Amber's death, but he 139 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: also wanted to have the conversation. And so we were 140 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: very fortunate that we were able to catch up with 141 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: Shannie Omari and Bruce so that we could tell the 142 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: story because they wanted to tell the story. 143 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: Just talking to our audience. 144 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: You know, I love talking to talented people like Tellia 145 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: Lewis Lee. You know she said, we've reached out to them. 146 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: May now they allowed us to come in. You better 147 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: have a name you can google. You better have a reputation, You. 148 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: Better have a brand. 149 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: You better have an awareness that you just don't call 150 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: somebody at a very dark emotional moment in life, say 151 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: we want to come in and videotape without a reputation 152 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: that they know you have their, you have their their 153 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: their goodwill at heart. This is the twenty twenty two 154 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: I said to the top rising filmmaker to watch by 155 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: ind Wire, and that reputation that you've developed over the 156 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: year is part of your brand allows you to get 157 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: in a door and use your name to be able 158 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: to not only push back on the money, which. 159 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: I was really taking it back.

And when I get information that delves 334 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: into this area, I go, you got to be kidding me. 335 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: But when you hear the truth, how stunned were you 336 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: or were you aware when you started doing this research 337 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: and reading about the midwives? 338 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, the midwives situation is when you really think about it, 339 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 3: it is so crazy. The United States is the only 340 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 3: developed nation that does not have midwives integrated into women's health, 341 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 3: and that is based on a racist premise because black 342 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 3: midwives were those that took care of everyone giving birth 343 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 3: back in the day, not just black women, but white 344 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 3: women too. 345 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 4: But when modern medicine came in, they took the. 346 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 3: Economy of birthing out of the hands of black women 347 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 3: put it into the hands of doctors, white doctors put 348 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: and trying to push us all to go into hospitals 349 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: so that they could have the economy, and then launched 350 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 3: a campaign against midwives, telling us that they're dirty, they're witches, 351 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 3: they're dangerous. That still exists today, and it is it is. 352 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 4: It is not good for us, it's killing us. 353 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 3: And so I was actually really surprised by that and 354 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 3: really grateful to Helena Grant, who is the midwife in 355 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 3: the film, who is an amazing historian. 356 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: Amazing let's say, at one more time, tellya amazing. 357 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 4: Amazing Helena Grant. 358 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 3: We could have had an entire film with just a 359 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: camera on Helena telling us so much. There was so 360 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 3: much we couldn't put into the film that she educated 361 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 3: us on. 362 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: You know, we always talk about, you know, this critical 363 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: theory that runs around and people don't want to give 364 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: you the facts about life and history. And this is 365 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: one of those great moments when I hear about people 366 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: trying to deny actual history. This is something that happened, 367 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: is something that is because it happened, That means it's 368 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: happening today. That means that people have been outlawed and 369 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: participating who cared about the process instead of being hired 370 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: to do the process, which is a big difference. And 371 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: you guys make that distinction in aftershock talk about that. 372 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 373 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think that again with midwives, they 374 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 3: were there, they are still there. 375 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 4: I mean, the idea is to educate you about your. 376 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: Body, right and midwife is there from before you get 377 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 3: pregnant to why you're pregnant postpartum. A lot most of 378 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 3: these deaths happen postpartum, and midwives are there to watch you, 379 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 3: educate you about your body, and really empower you so 380 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: that your body can do what you needed to do. 381 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 3: The thing about guynecologists and obstetricians is that they're they're 382 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 3: really surgeons, and so they're really looking for a problem. 383 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 4: You know, they're and they're ready to operate. 384 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 3: And again I just want to say, sea sections are 385 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 3: really important. Thank god we have them because they are 386 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 3: necessary in the right situation. But what has happened in 387 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 3: this country, as you mentioned, is that it's become about money. 388 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 3: It's to come about the economics. So we find ourselves 389 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 3: sort of rushed and pushed into unnecessary sea sections, which 390 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 3: are major surgery. 391 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 4: Which will cause which can cause problems later down. 392 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: The line Tanya Lewis Lee, my wife had a beautiful daughter. Okay, 393 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: And when the opportunity presented itself, they said, mister McDonald, 394 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: would you like to be in the room while your 395 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: wife delivers? I said no, I said, I wait outside. 396 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: Please let me know when that beautiful child is born, 397 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: and I come in with all the drama, all the trauma, 398 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: all that is gone, ladies. 399 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 2: Said Jeb after shot. 400 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 6: I was shot because I got to see you the 401 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 6: actual delivery of a child. Now I say that, I 402 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 6: don't know if I should say thank you for allowing 403 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 6: me to see that, because I wasn't traumatized like I 404 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 6: thought I would be. But the fact that you were 405 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 6: able to I wouldn't say the word convince a couple 406 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 6: to allow that to be filmed, but it would talk 407 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 6: about that whole process that because that was amazing. 408 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 409 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 3: Again again, we were so lucky to find an amazing couple. 410 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 3: We didn't have to convince them. You know, Felicia and 411 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 3: Paul Ellis they you know, Felicia was pregnant in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 412 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 4: There was a DULA service there. 413 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 3: The Tulsa Birth Equity Initiative reached out to her and 414 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 3: said we can. We can get you a dula if 415 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 3: you'd like, and she said yes, and that's how we 416 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 3: met Felicia. Felicia wanted to share her experience because, as 417 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 3: she says in the film, being a black woman, a 418 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 3: pregnant black woman is like being a black man at 419 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 3: a traffic stop. You have to pay attention every step 420 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 3: of the way. So she was really willing to allow 421 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 3: us to go on the journey with her. And again, 422 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 3: as she says in the film, she's thinking, she's just 423 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 3: going to give. 424 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 4: Birth a regular way, you know, with a doctor. 425 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 3: And at a hospital, but then towards the end of 426 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 3: her pregnancy, she's like, wait a minute, maybe there's another way, 427 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 3: and allowed us to go with her and find the 428 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 3: birthing center and the midwives that would attend with her 429 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 3: at her birth, and her husband attended with her. 430 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 4: She was glad we got you to see. 431 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 3: The birthn't traumatizing. 432 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 2: Now what at misleep, We have a relationship.

It examines the U as a maternal mortality crisis, 440 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: and always when you hear the word crisis, somehow it 441 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: just falls heavily on the black and brown community. And 442 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: we talk about that, and it must be talked, and 443 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: it will continue to be talked.
