27th United Nations Association Film Festival - Free FIlm Screenings at Stanford University
**Join us before the session begins at 6:30 pm for a free panel, "Addressing Health Crises."**
Session 14 begins with AMERICAN DELIVERY, directed by Carolyn Jones. In the U.S.--where more women die in childbirth than any other wealthy nation--the joys of pregnancy and motherhood are often overshadowed by fear. Amid a growing maternal health crisis, especially for women of color, this film tells the story of the glimmers of hope: women finding their voice and autonomy; nurses listening to women and offering birth choices; and hospital leaders welcoming the community as the patient.
The night ends with UNCONDITIONAL, a film directed by American journalist and MSNBC news anchor, Richard Lui. After seven years in production, it is an uplifting film about the importance of mental health for both those living with a disability and in addition, their caregivers too. It reveals the unconditional energy, strength, and love that gets us through some of the most difficult but enriching times of our lives.
