Traditional Birth Attendants

Traditional Birth Attendants

Filmed in Southern Sudan, this film is a companion for the traditional birth attendant training program that Tearfund has produced for Southern Sudan. The film and manual are used to teach Traditional Birth Attendants the best practices to help women safely deliver in remote locations as well as good post-natal care. PAL

Target audience: Primary target is TBAs for use in educational situations. This is an information, training film. The most important part of this film will be its visual content, illustrating good practice. The use of acted scenes will be to create a realistic setting more than to provide precise documentary. Since the idea is doing correct, safe, clean practice, we will not use bad practice to compare, lest someone remember a wrong practice. If possible local music will be obtained to retain as much local flavor as possible. This film will utilize the TBA training manual and will seek to coordinate with its flip chart so that there are visual connections between the training and the film. In addition, it is possible that case stories from the manual may be used in the film.
