Before a Breath

Before a Breath

A film by Nadia Sussman

Before a Breath weaves together the stories of three mothers who have lost children to stillbirth, an experience shared by more than 20,000 U.S. families every year. At least one in four of these losses may be preventable.

As the mothers move through their grief, each finds ways to heal. Kanika teaches young doulas, Debbie works to pass federal stillbirth legislation and Stephanie takes a leap of faith, becoming pregnant again. Inspired by ProPublica’s groundbreaking reporting, Before a Breath lifts a deeply-felt stigma and shines a light on America’s stillbirth crisis.
