"The Edge of Joy," an issue-driven documentary regarding maternal health in Nigeria aired in excerpt April 28th on PBS NewsHour.
"The Edge of Joy," is one of four selected winners of The Economist Film Project, an inaugural contest featuring documentary films on issues The Economist is known for covering.

In partnership with PBS Newshour "The Edge of Joy" will kick-off the first round of special segments airing at the end of April.
