BellyBelly.com.au is the Australian Distributor of The Business of Being Born - buy a genuine copy from Australia's distributors. This movie is A MUST see for all women and the men who love them.
Birth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business.
Compelled to explore the subject after the birth of her first child,
actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to question the way
American women have babies. See homebirths, hospital births and see what problems are breaking down modern maternity systems.
Don't think because the movie is filmed in the USA that it doesn't relate to
Australia - we actually have a HIGHER rate of caesarean sections than the USA
and it is completely relevant.
The film interlaces intimate birth stories with surprising historical,
political and scientific insights and shocking statistics about the
current maternity care system. When director Epstein discovers she is
pregnant during the making of the film, the journey becomes even more
personal.
Should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every
delivery be treated as a potentially catastrophic medical emergency?
