Demographic Fear erodes a maternity hospital's dream

Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem was founded on a promise to serve all patients with the same, excellent care. But the conditions of occupation and resistance in the region undermined that intention, sowing discrimination and fear. This documentary looks deeply at how these played out in the maternity ward, among patients and potential patients, and members of the staff. This WINGS program reprises the documentary Demographic Danger, which first appeared in 2016 on Making Contact as well as WINGS. It was produced and narrated by Shaina Shealy and hosted by Monica Lopez. Music credits: Beware of Safety, A New Dawn, Adriana Krikl, Cuddle Formation, Ergo Phizmiz, Monplaisir, Kirill Shirokov, Lee Rosevere, and Quiet Music for Tiny Robots.
