Einladung der Veranstalter*innen:
The Screening & Discussion of the Documentary “Midwives” is part of a two-day event series marking International Women’s Day 2024.
"Without us, where would they go?"
"Midwives", the award-winning documentary by Myanmar film maker Snow Hnin Ei Hlaing is set in the aftermath of the 2017 violent ethnic conflicts between the (Buddhist) Myanmar military and the (Muslim) Rohingya minority in the Rakhine state of Western Myanmar.
The story follows the fortunes of a Rakhine Buddhist Woman and founder of a rural antenatal clinic and her Muslim Rohingya apprentice. The film delivers a nuanced portrait in which the clinic acts as a microcosm of contemporary Myanmar. With an eye toward peace and reconciliation, the film reveals how categorical markers of social difference, including ethnicity, religion and gender, contribute to forming and perpetuating dependency relations.
The discussion will explore these intersectional dependencies.
Bonner Universitätsforum, Heussallee 18-24, 53113 Bonn. This is an in-person event.
