WITHIN THE WATER

Within_The_Water_Landscape_V2.jpg

A pregnant woman is meant to radiate unconditional love for her unborn child but what if her feelings are more complex and dark? Post-natal depression is increasingly understood but in a society that portrays pregnancy as an uncomplicated journey of maternal joy, prenatal depression is a taboo, and frightening. 
Yet it can also make a mother stronger than ever. 


"Within The Water" is a short documentary film exploring the experiences of a number of women with prenatal depression and how the ritual of cold water swimming throughout pregnancy helped two women in particular regain control.
