Faces of Medicine is a documentary series that looks at the lives, careers, and practices of Black female physicians. Only 2.8% of doctors are Black women.

The documentary starts with recognition of the trailblazing work of Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, who in 1864 became the first Black female to earn an MD in the United States. We explore the journeys of Black women practicing medicine today as captured in live interviews.

Leading this effort is Dr. Khama Ennis, who tackles medical burnout and the healing properties of cultural understanding in a field where it is especially hard to see oneself.

In sharing these diverse experiences, the filmmakers' hope is that any young Black or brown woman can find herself in one of the stories, and feel empowered to pursue medicine if it is her passion. 

Everyone who watches will leave with a better understanding of what their next doctor may have experienced along their journey.
