Every Mother Counts

When supermodel/mom, Christy Turlington experienced child birth complications, she learned that 500,000 women die each year during child birth and that 90% of these deaths are preventable.

This was a catalytic moment.  A few years later, she enrolled in a Masters Program at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and began working on “No Woman, No Cry”, a documentary about maternal mortality world wide.

A year after the movie’s world premiere at Tribeca Film festival, Turlington and her crew are back in Bangladesh to meet the women they filmed an interviewed two and a half years ago.
