Nice work on the follow on show on the midwives! Arron Brown was excellent on the start and summing up. The editing of the story was really good as it showed the many aspects of the work, the chaos of the environment, the need to overcome the male “thing”, and the dedication and sacrifice the women have to make in both their social, family, and living lives.

The African stories Wide Angle has shown from this one, to the Muslim female Imams, to the decision to give women the right to have property are strong examples to actually show throughout Africa as examples of how to bring the county up by it’s boot straps.

Also, I like the greater emphasis on the web site and what you are showing there!
