"Making Mothers" is a short documentary that captures the lives of two African American caregivers at the Family Health and Birth Center in NE DC who help women during their transition to motherhood. Midwife Lisa strives to provide the peaceful and beautiful home birth experience she had herself. Joan, a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor, imparts her experience as a teen mom and former birth center client. In pursuing their passion they empower the women they encounter, the community they work in, and ultimately, themselves.
