Birth: it’s a miracle. A rite of passage. A natural part of life. But
more than anything, birth is a business. Compelled to find
answers after a disappointing birth experience with her first child,
actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to examine
and question the way American women have babies.
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?
