60 minutes. Not Rated. Directed by Zulilah Merry.

This screening will be followed by a panel discussion led by director Zulilah Merry about postpartum care in the community.

No One Told Me provides a raw and honest look at the postpartum period, a unique time in a woman's life that is rarely captured in documentary film. The purely observational footage of incredibly intimate moments shows the highs and lows encountered by parents Elise and Marc as they adapt to life with a baby. Focusing on the new mother, the film shares the physical, hormonal and psychological changes she faces during the first 10 weeks of motherhood.
