An investigation into Yolande Maritz-Fouchee, the first midwife in South Africa to face criminal charges for birth malpractice, including culpable homicide.

The charges were the result of years of pressure from a group of mothers who uncovered a pattern of medical abuse after each suffering their own tragic loss at Maritz-Fouchee's private birthing home, You and Me Midwife-led Maternity Care in Pretoria. Yolande Maritz-Fouchee was sentenced to 23 years imprisonment.

Documentary filmmaker and investigative journalist Tarryn Crossman has produced films for Carte Blanche, Al Jazeera and MTV Staying Alive, and through TIA Productions works with organisations like Meta, UNICEF, USAID and Save the Children. Undelivered is her first book.
