Documentary shares stories of 'Black Women in Medicine'

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Only two percent of doctors in this country are black women. A new documentary called "Black Women in Medicine" is sharing their stories and hoping these women will inspire that statistic to change.

The film is showing at Laemmle's Music Hall 3 in Beverly Hills through Thursday. The plan is to get it onto public television and into classrooms.
