New Documentary On Natural Childbirth

Kathryn Mora, a documentary filmmaker, recently contacted me regarding a project she is currently filming on natural childbirth. These are exciting times in the birthing world. The sudden influx of mainstream media coverage on natural childbirth and the benefits of evidence-based maternity care are increasing public awareness of the failings of our current system.


A synopsis of her project, as well as a request, is detailed below:

IMAGES AND FOOTAGE NEEDED FOR DOCUMENTARY FILM ABOUT CHILDBIRTH

I am journalist and a new filmmaker making a documentary film about how doctors, hospitals, drug and insurance companies have turned the natural event of childbirth into a hi-tech, money making BIG business for their own personal and financial gain with little regard for the well-being of women and their babies.

I would greatly appreciate any still images and footage of the following:

1. a full-term pregnant woman
2, a mother and her baby breast feeding alone and with family
3. a labor and birth at home
4. a labor and birth at the hospital, with and without drugs.

FEATURE ARTICLE
A feature article entitled, "CESAREAN NATIONS", about VBACS written for Metroland newspaper in Albany, New York, June 6, 2002 at www.metroland.net (located under back issues). This article deals with how hospitals stopped allowing women to give birth vaginally after they had a cesarean.



If anyone can aid her with this project, please use her contact information above to reach her. Remember, every little ripple we create can lead to big waves in the tide of our maternity care system. You never know how much your contribution can help unless you make it.
