The new midwives of the Hmong combine both Western medicine and traditional healing methods, and they have significantly reduced the mortality rate in their remote mountain region. For over two thousand years, the extreme north of Vietnam, an area bordering China, has been home to an ethnic minority known as the Hmong. For the first time, this documentary provides an insight into the family life of one of the oldest civilizations in the world, as we accompany midwife Vu Thi My on her daily rounds.
