On October 27, 2008, NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts partnered with Dorchester House Multi-Service Center and the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy at UMass Boston to hold a special screening of "When the Bough Breaks," an episode of the documentary series Unnatural Causes.

 

More than 100 people came to see this powerful examination of how racism affects birth outcomes in the African-American community, which experiences disproportionately high rates of premature births and infant mortality and morbidity. The screening was followed by a panel presentation and discussion.
