  • Summary

  • Somebody had to refuse to get on the plane. For decades, Inuit women in northern Quebec had to travel south, far from family and community support, to give birth. But then one mother’s act of defiance ultimately shifted maternal care in the north.


    In a bonus episode from our friends at The Current, Duncan McCue shares the history that led to the creation of the North’s first midwifery clinic in 1986. His documentary, originally released last fall, is called Hands of a Midwife.
