Bonus (ENGLISH): First step is ending maternal detention, with director Robert Yates

A podcast about birthing, care, and racial capitalism in the context of "hospital detention", where hospitals lock mothers and newborn babies inside to force debt repayment. Using creative ethnographic storytelling, first person narration, conversation, and critical analysis, we explore the neoliberal global health practice of imprisoning mothers for debt. What kind of silences are built around medical detention? How do these silences relate to histories of colonial medicine and black motherhood? How do mothers, healthcare workers, journalists, and others resist this silence?
