Shamony Gibson and Amber Rose Isaac were vibrant, excited mothers-to-be whose deaths due to childbirth comlications were reventable. Now, their artners and families are determined to sound a rallying cry around this chilling yet largely ignored crisis.br\　　Directors Paula Eiselt and Tonya Lewis Lee follow Gibson’s and Isaac’s bereaved artners, Omari Maynard and Bruce McIntyre, as they fight for justice and build communities of suort, bonding esecially with other surviving Black fathers. Their tragic, individual exeriences are unctuated with condemning historical context, showing that gynecology has a long-standing history of exloiting and neglecting Black women in America. In the arresting words of mother-to-be Felicia Ellis, “A Black woman having a baby is like a Black man at a traffic sto with the olice.” She emhasizes that aying attention is aramount. Aftershock brings an unsettling reality to the forefront while ulifting the families, activists, and birth workers who are striving to bring institutional change and legislative reform. These mothers will not be forgotten.
