Women of Africa, "Love, Labor, Loss" Documentary
San Francisco, Nov. 20-21, 2005
WAFRICA — Women of Africa — will host a Bay area first this November with the Screening of “Love, Labor, Loss”, a Documentary Film on Obstetric Fistula, the severe and painful childbirth injury affecting many women in the developing world.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with New York city based Film Producer Lisa Russell, Dr. Amreen Husain (Stanford Medical Center Fistula in Eritrea), Dr. Eiman Mahmoud (AISC) and Diane Harrison (Planned Parenthood Golden Gate).There will be two screenings and Discussion panel held respectively on Sunday November 20th, from 2–4pm at Bissap Baobab Restaurant, 2323 Mission Street @19th, and on Monday November 21st , from 6–8pm at Maxwells Restaurant & Lounge, 341 13th Street, Downtown Oakland. Both events are free, open to the public, and BART accessible.
Obstetric Fistula, also known as the disease of poverty is a term unknown to most Westerners and is caused by obstructed labor (lasting up to 5-6 days) which leaves a woman childless, incontinent and isolated from society. The program is cosponsored by several Bay Area based groups including The Global Fund For Women, Priority Africa Network, The New Field Foundation, Stanford’s Center for African Studies.
