THIS POWERFUL VIDEO has attracted a lot of coverage, and has also been picked up by the international media. Produced by Moonshine Films in conjunction with Mothers Matter, the video is part of a campaign to get the Labour Government to introduce much better prenatal care.
Says Mothers Matter: 'Equity of maternity and postnatal care across New Zealand is critical to curbing the country's stark and shameful statistics: a maternal suicide rate that is five times higher per capita than the UK, and one of the worst postnatal depression, family abuse and child homicide records in the world. Mothers already have a legal right to at least 48 hours of postnatal care but are often not receiving it because of overloaded maternity units. The are often leaving hospital exhausted, without having recovered or receiving the necessary support for their health needs.'
A cover of Lewis Capaldi's song , 'Someone You Loved', plays in the background.
