And we are joined now by Dominique Remy, writer, director, and producer of the project Canary. Which is a documentary about maternal mortality rates in the U.S. Dominique thanks so much for joining us today. Thank you for having me. Of course, tell us a little bit about this project here because it could not be more relevant than ever in the midst of our national conversation about women's rights to their own bodies and that relates to health care in this country. Absolutely yeah I don't know if you saw or some of the listeners saw but I think a couple days ago the CDC came out with a report saying that 80% of maternal mortalities were preventable. When I actually started this project the figure was I want to say 60 to 64 preventable. Which was also unacceptable to me when I decided to start this project. So to see that figure Spike up so drastically it was just like yeah they're like you said there's no better time to have this conversation. and it's not just really a conversation about statistics. What I've found throughout my research and just you know seeing other similar content is that there's not a lot of discussion about the internal lives of people who have lost their loved ones to this. or you know the children who have lost parents. and just an overall discussion about what leads to this. A lot of the times you'll hear about, I think the biggest one is about medical bias. and need to have more racial Equity training. which I will never discount as something that's not needed but it's not sufficient. With our project and my whole ethos, I'm looking for something more comprehensive. and that's also why we titled it Canary because I think this crisis and birthing people of color particularly black and Indigenous women are at a much higher risk than their white counterparts. serve as the canary in the coal mine for something that's just much more deeper and institutionalized than just we need to have doctors be more sensitive to people of color. or we need the people of color to be more educated about their options right? because like what's so intersectional about your topic here is it's also just that Universal Child Care is involved. Universal Health Care is involved, and housing is involved. structural racism is involved as well. and so this it's it is a bit of a Confluence of all of those factors and it manifests itself in just these staggering maternal mortality rates for indigenous black essentially non-white women in this country.
