AFTERSHOCK is how you do a documentary. The topic is focused, educational, and something people need to listen to. The footage is incredibly captured, the statistics are hard-hitting, and the variety of interviews and participants make it concrete. Powerful to say the least.
Alum @lucasguilkey ('19) was story producer on @aftershockdoc—exploring the maternal health crisis and growing birth justice movement in the U.S.—that premiered at #Sundance2022. #proud @cal

"A Black woman having a baby in America is like a Black man in a traffic stop." It's that lethal. A stunning reality lifted up in the phenomenal documentary, "Aftershock," screening now at Sundance. See it if you can. Heartbreaking. Infuriating.
#AftershockDoc filmmaker @PaulaEiselt shares how she and @TLewisLee reinvented their production and post-production processes in response to the challenges of the past two years:
