What happens

Marie is a 2020 short documentary film directed by Sam Abbas about labor during homebirths. The film was originally scheduled for an April 2020 theatrical window for Academy consideration; however, it premiered exclusively on IGTV August 10, 2020 due to the COVID cancellation of all theaters in New York City. Based on the 93rd Academy Awards' new rules to offset the COVID interruptions, Marie was eligible and running for a nomination. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
