Baby/Girls

Teen birth rates in America’s Heartland are among the highest in the nation. And in the wake of the landmark Dobbs decision, a Christian maternity home in Arkansas becomes a crossroads in the lives of three pregnant teenagers. Filmed over two years with intimate verite access, baby/girls follows Olivia, Grace and Ariana as they give birth and attempt to break the cycle of poverty, addiction, and abuse that has marked their own childhoods. With rare proximity and emotional clarity, baby/girls offers a powerful portrait of young women coming of age in a place where choice, faith, and generational traumas collide.
