MADE IN INDIA: A FILM ABOUT SURROGACY on PBS in May!

MADE IN INDIA will be broadcasting on PBS all throughout the month of May!

In San Antonio, Lisa and Brian Switzer risk their savings with a Medical Tourism company promising them an affordable solution after seven years of infertility. Halfway around the world in Mumbai, 27-year-old Aasia Khan, mother of three, contracts with a fertility clinic to be implanted with the Texas couple�s embryos. MADE IN INDIA, about real people involved in international surrogacy, follows the Switzers and Aasia through every stage of the process.

For local listings, visit PBS�s official website.

On average, films employing at least one woman as director, executive producer, producer, or writer grossed approximately the same at domestic box offices ($82.1 vs. $81.9 million) as films with only men in these roles.

Thanks to generous support from the NY Department of Cultural Affairs, WMM has launched The New York City Cultural and Community Discount Program, and is pleased to offer 50% off rentals or sales of WMM films to NYC non-profit groups in the five boroughs!
