Elain Epstein discussed the documentary Arrest the Midwife with LRM Online's Gig Patta. The film makes its showcase at the SXSW Film Festival 2025.
Synopsis: Caught between the law and the well-being of the Amish and Mennonite families they serve, midwives in upstate New York operate in a healthcare desert—risking jail time simply for providing critical care. With exceptionally rare and intimate access, director Elaine Epstein crafts a powerful David-and-Goliath story of resilience and resistance.
