Join Black Mothers In Power at Penn Cinema on the Wilmington Riverfront for a powerful evening of film, conversation, and action.

BMIP presents a special screening of Deliver Us, followed by an intimate conversation with the film’s director, Jenny Kwandham, and a panel of midwives.

Meet the Filmmaker

Jenny Kwandham is a documentary filmmaker and producer focused on stories at the intersection of social justice, culture, and lived experience. A fellow of the Producers Guild of America’s 2020 Power of Diversity Master Workshop, she brings more than a decade of experience in production, operations, and long-form storytelling to impact-driven films.

A former talent manager, Jenny’s background in shaping narratives, developing voices, and guiding projects from concept to completion informs her documentary work. Deliver Us marks her feature documentary debut, following Black midwives across the United States as they confront the maternal health crisis and build community-centered models of care.

More Than a Film Screening

This isn't just a movie screening. We're raising money to help bring a birth center to Wilmington!

Come experience the film, hear directly from Jenny and the midwives featured in the conversation, and learn how you can support BMIP’s vision for a new model of community-centered maternal care in Wilmington.
