Among us women

Goethe-Institut is hosting a screening of the film ‘Among us women’, On June 6 2022, 5:30 PM. Written and directed by Sarah Noa Bozenhardt, co-directed by Daniel Abate Tilahun, it was first released in 2021 with its world premiere at DOK Leipzig and is currently enjoying a successful trip around the world. It has premiered in its home country Ethiopia on May 25, 2022 as the opening ceremony of the 16th Addis International film festival.

The film is set in the village of Megendi, where maternity care is changing. Caught in the midst of the shift, a community of women explore how best to provide for expectant mothers. At the center, pregnant Huluager Endeshaw (25) weighs what is expected of her against what she needs, bringing past pain to the surface. Working through her discomfort, she finds solace in her fellow women and the godfather of her child. As the story unfolds, Hulu uncovers her true wishes and with them, an unshakeable desire to remain loyal to her heart.

‘Among Us Women’ is a joint production of Evolution Film, ZDF and Film University Potsdam Babelsberg Konrad Wolf. Efuye Gela Films is further engaged with this powerful film in an impact campaign addressing health, education, policy professionals and their target groups, inviting them to share and reflect on the topics of the documentary. The impact campaign aims to foster conversations between communities, midwives, health professionals, medical institutes, and health education centers to bring lasting solutions to the gaps of understanding between communities and the health professionals that serve them.
