Allyson Newman (The L Word: Generation Q, Partner Track, Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge, Kusama: Infinity, Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound) has released a soundtrack album for the documentary Arrest the Midwife. The album features the composer’s original score from the film and is now available to stream/download on all major digital music services, including Amazon. Also listen to Newman’s first track (Maternity Care Deserts) below. Arrest the Midwife is directed by Elaine Epstein and centers on the Amish and Mennonite women of upstate New York who break from their traditions as an insular community to become unexpected activists, fighting for systemic change. The documentary just premiered last weekend at the SXSW Film Festival. No word yet on a distribution deal.
