The Frozen River

In 1789 Maine, midwife Martha Ballard is called to examine a body frozen in the Kennebec River. As she investigates the death of a respected man, Martha uncovers ties to a previous alleged rape involving prominent townsmen. When a local physician dismisses her findings, she takes matters into her own hands, risking scandal and personal loss. Martha's diary becomes key in revealing the truth, challenging societal norms, and leaving a legacy that history nearly forgot.
