Witches - Exploring Motherhood and Maternal Mental Health
Join us for a special showing of The Witches, a powerful and imaginative film written and directed by Elizabeth Sankey.
The 2024 film takes us through a haunting yet deeply personal narrative weaving together the mythology of witches with the lived reality of postpartum mental illness, exploring how stories of fear, power, and transformation continue to shape women's lives today.
The film and subsequent panel discussion will allow director Elizabeth Sankey to share her personal experience with postpartum anxiety, depression, and psychosis as she reframes shame as solidarity and isolation as connection calling for cultural compassion toward maternal mental health.
Following the screening and panel discussion, there will be an opportunity to network at a drinks reception with canapes.
