One week a go I met the wonderful Ricki Lake. Ricki was in Australia to present a preview of her new documentary "The Business of Being Born". I got to see it (along with over 450 other people) at the the Homebirth conference in Sydney before it's official release in the United States this coming January.
What an incredible documentary - showing both the reality of birth and the possibility of what it could be like. I found the documentary both wonderfully encouraging and very sad all at the same time. This is a must see documentary. It has been dubbed 'The Inconvenient Truth' of birth.
You can view a trailer of the documentary here at the The Business of Being Born website. I believe this documentary has the ability to get message out about the sad state of health care for birthing women. With the power of a celebrity behind it, The Business of Being Born is bound to get noticed.
If you are interested in seeing this wonderful documentary - stay posted as I am trying to organise a screening in Parramatta Sydney.
