Fresh Docs: THE LAST PARTERA

Southern Documentary Fund is pleased to present a free work-in-progress screening of THE LAST PARTERA, co-directed by Victoria Bouloubasis and Ned Phillips.

At 100 years old, Doña Miriam confronts the end of her life cycle, passing on her wisdom as the last living traditional Costa Rican midwife in the region. Inspired by her courage and strength, a new generation pushes for stronger women-centered healthcare at the foot of an active volcano.

Doors will open at 6:30 PM, film will start at 7:00 PM. There will be a post film discussion with Victoria Bouloubasis (co-director), Ned Phillips (co-director) and Pilar Timpane (producer) immediately following the screening.

This project was supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
