Maternal Instinct

Season 9 Episode 6 | 30s

Motherhood takes many forms, born of love, loss, and the courage to embrace the unpredictable. Joy proves that family is built through resilience as much as biology; Trish becomes both Mum and Dad after the sudden loss of her husband; and Julia finds strength in letting go after a pregnancy heartbreak. Three storytellers, three interpretations of MATERNAL INSTINCT. Hosted by Theresa Okokon.

Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD and GBH.
