About the Film: The anthropologist film maker explores media-generated myths about childbirth in this documentary. As a childbirth educator, for nearly 30 years, she observes daily how our culture affects our birth experiences. In this film, she contrasts fiction with reality. The result is hilarious, engaging, and enlightening
