Movie Screening: "Chocolate Milk" Documentary Screening for Black Breastfeeding Week

  • Black Mothers in Power 2207 Concord Pike #222 Wilmington, DE, 19803 United States (map)

On August 27 from 6-9pm Black Mothers in Power will be collaborating with Delaware Healthy Mother Infant Consortium (DHMIC) and Nemours to screen the documentary “Chocolate Milk” at Penn Cinema at the Riverfront (New Castle County)

Description of the film: “CHOCOLATE MILK: THE DOCUMENTARY is an exploration of the racial divide in breastfeeding. Told through the narratives of three African American women: a new mother, a midwife and a WIC lactation educator, the film seeks to answer the longstanding question of why more African American women are not breastfeeding. By creating an engaging narrative centered around the challenges of breastfeeding, Chocolate Milk will spark public discussion on how communities can better support black mothers. Our goal is to premiere the film in 200 community screenings across the country during National Breastfeeding Month in August 2019.” For more information about this documentary you can visit: http://www.chocolatemilkdoc.com
