 A man in a white doctor¹s coat places his hand against the cheek of a child who is lying on a table as a woman wearing a blue dress and a white headscarf looks on. Text reads: Nearly one in seven Afghan women die in childbirth. Follow an Afghan American filmmaker and her father to his native Afghanistan, where he brings desperately needed medical attention and expertise to the women most susceptible to maternal mortality.
