Rebecca Rivas is a 2003 Fulbright scholar. She graduated from University of Missouri – Columbia’s School of Journalism in 2003, where she reported and edited for Adelante, mid-Missouri’s bilingual newspaper, for two years. There she covered the immigrant population’s struggles to integrate into non-Spanish speaking communities, including Latina women’s health. Rivas also worked as National Geographic’s writing intern in Washington, DC. She currently lives in St. Louis, working on other documentary projects and freelance writing.

At Highest Risk is her first documentary film. In this, viewers experience the Quechua traditions of mothering and natural medicine that are fading with each generation. Peru’s maternal mortality rate, the second highest, is the most telling result of the challenges [[Peruvian] mothers face. At Highest Risk captures the frightening situation of Peruvian women, and the spirit in which they face it.
