DELIVER US, Feature Documentary on Black Midwives, to World Premiere at Cinequest 2026

After years of work, persistence, and belief, we’re incredibly proud to share that Deliver Us will have its WORLD PREMIERE in competition as an Official Selection of the Cinequest Film Festival this March.

In the United States, Black mothers are dying in childbirth at staggering rates. While the hospital establishment continues to fail them, Black midwives around the country are fighting back, opening birth centers and demanding justice for Black mothers. Deliver Us follows four visionary Black midwives in Los Angeles, Gainesville, and Chicago as they battle to change laws, leverage social media to raise awareness and force change, and protect mothers' lives while delivering babies.
