DOCUMENTARY CLIPS: The Milky Way
from Amy Rosner

1 year ago

I edited a feature-length documentary film called, "The Milky Way". This film focuses on breastfeeding in the US and why we have such a low success rate. It follows two lactation consultants on a journey through Sweden and Germany to figure out why other countries are succeeding and what we can do here in the US to improve the situation. It also focuses on the personal stories of many mothers from around the world, while exploring cultural norms, family-friendly government policies, kangaroo mother care, and co-sleeping. It is currently screening all over the world and has been translated into five different languages.

Maternity & Family Leave in the United States

...The US is one of only three countries in the world that does not have national paid family leave policies. We are collaborating with other organizations to establish better policies for working families, utilizing social media, online petitions, and unique campaigns to create positive change on this critical issue. We are proud to be a member of the coalition organized by the National Partnership for Women and Families to get the Family Leave Act passed. We hope you join us in the good fight!
