BORN INTO EXILE

The film follows two pregnant Syrian refugee women, living in Zaatari refugee camp, Jordan, in the week leading up to the births of their babies. The film highlights the fact that 500 pregnant women and girls die daily in crisis situations because of complications in pregnancy and childbirth. The film has recently had private launches at the ‘Women Deliver’ conference in Copenhagen, the first ‘World Humanitarian Summit’ in Istanbul and most recently in the US Houses of Congress, with the result that a decision was made to commit more money to the United Nations Population Fund, whose remit is to deliver a world where every childbirth is safe.
