Abstract [en]

Maternal mortality rates in low-income countries remain high and almost two thirds of global maternal deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa (WHO, 2019). Communications interventions such as media and entertainment education initiatives could help improve maternal health outcomes. The aim of this research is to explore this area further; focusing on the case study of ‘Di Kombra Di Krai (Cry of a Mother)’, a maternal health drama produced in Sierra Leone in 2020. The research utilises interviews with key stakeholders in the production, and content analysis, to understand why film is an appropriate medium of communication for maternal health, the processes involved, and the benefits to the participants. This research aims to provide further information that will be beneficial for communication for development professionals and organisations on the role of film in maternal health communication in low-income countries.
