What She Carries is a genre-bending feature documentary exploring the revitalization of traditional birthing practices in Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Through the stories of birth workers, mothers, and matriarchs, the film shares intimate experiences of pregnancy, loss, birth, and renewal. Filmed in seven regions, What She Carries addresses how settler colonialism and medicalization have shaped Indigenous women’s reproductive choices. Centering body sovereignty and self-determination, the film challenges systems that have disrupted cultural knowledge. By returning to traditional practices and holistic understandings of health, Indigenous communities are reclaiming healing—because when we heal our women, we heal the generations to come.
