This film interlaces intimate birth stories with surprising historical, political and economic insights into the Business of Being Born. The film’s fundamental question: should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every birth be treated as a potential medical emergency? A must see film for maternal-child health care providers, parents and parents-to-be, students of women’s issues and anyone interested in the future of the human race. You will never look at giving birth the same way.
