Mount Laurel Library will show the award winning feature-length documentary A Walk to Beautiful on Saturday, March 31 at 2 p.m. followed by a discussion led by Jeffrey M Smith, MD, MPH. The public is invited to this admission-free event. No registration is required.
A Walk to Beautiful tells the stories of five Ethiopian women who suffer from devastating childbirth injuries and embark on a journey to reclaim their lost dignity. Rejected by their husbands and ostracized by their communities, these women are left to spend the rest of their lives in loneliness and shame. They make the choice to take the long and arduous journey to the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in search of a cure and a new life.
Join us for the film with an introduction and a Q&A provided by Jeffrey M Smith, MD, MPH, an expert on the subject of care for women in pregnancy in third world countries.
