No woman should have to give up her life to give life.

One of the most dangerous things a black woman can do in this country is give birth. It sounds unthinkable, but maternal mortality is rising in America. 

“Reverse” is a short film that tells the story of a young daughter and the many challenges she faces on her journey to motherhood. Told in reverse chronological order, our award-winning film helped launch Merck For Mothers’ $500M initiative to #EndMaternalMortality.
