Call the Midwife Seasons 1 & 2 Blu-ray Sets
A moving, intimate, funny and, above all, true-to-life look at the colorful stories
of midwifery and families in East London in the 50s, based on the bestselling memoirs
of the late Jennifer Worth. When Jenny Lee first arrives in Poplar, she knows nothing
about hardship, poverty or, indeed, life itself. Attached to an order of nursing nuns
at Nonnatus house, Jenny is part of a team of midwives who visit expectant mothers,
providing the poorest women with the best possible care. Here, the streets teem with
children and with just one 8-bed maternity ward to serve the whole district; most
deliveries take place at home. Following Jenny as she travels through the streets
to meet her patients, Call the Midwife offers a fascinating insight into
a community on the brink of huge social change.
