A network of carers discovers a repeated story
Doula: A True Crime follows the case of Kaitlyn Braun, who contacted more than forty doulas over nine months in 2022. She described a pregnancy following sexual assault and claimed to be carrying a stillborn child. The documentary examines how people offering compassionate support began to discover a repeated and deceptive pattern.
Some doulas helped through telephone and video calls; others attended in person and offered round-the-clock care, often without payment. As their experiences began to connect, the response developed into a campaign to draw official attention and a widely shared TikTok counter-offensive. The story moves from private encounters to collective action.
