Christy Turlington Burns followed her passion and talks about the importance of NO WOMAN, NO CRY and Every Mother Counts.

NO WOMAN, NO CRY a documentary produced and directed by first-time filmmaker Christy Turlington Burns, premiered on OWN; Oprah Winfrey Network May 7th, 2011. The emotionally charged film follows the stories of women in Tanzania, Bangladesh, Guatemala and the United States as they face critical junctures in their pregnancies. The film explores the barriers millions of women face when trying to access critical care throughout their pregnancies and while delivering, along with the often simple solutions that could save their lives.

Turlington Burns, a mother, activist, women's health advocate, yogi and fashion icon, made the film in conjunction with EVERY MOTHER COUNTS (EMC), an outreach campaign she founded in 2010 that is dedicated to improving maternal health and reducing maternal mortality around the world by engaging the public, raising awareness and driving action.

Turlington Burns, who is currently pursuing a Masters in Public Health at Columbia University's Mailman School, was inspired to create the campaign in part due to her personal experience with a complication following child birth.
