Freedom For Birth:
In many countries around the world, women are being denied the most basic human
right of autonomy over their own bodies. They cannot choose how and where to
give birth. Those that persist in their desire to have a normal, physiological
birth are sometimes forced by judges to surrender to surgery or threatened with
having their babies taken away by child welfare services.
In many countries, if a woman wants to have a home birth supported by a midwife, those midwives face criminal prosecution. Some midwives, like Ágnes Geréb in Hungary, are even imprisoned. Freedom for Birth calls for radical reform to the world’s maternity systems so
that these Human Rights violations stop and women are afforded real choice as to how and where they give birth.

Birth In The Squatting Position:
The women are upright and their privacy is so protected that after the birth,
they are undisturbed as they gaze at their newborn. The experience is theirs and
it is us who are left wondering "How have we strayed so far away from birth as
it once was?" The 10 minute film from Brazil is so powerful that the images will
be imprinted in your memory forever.

The Greater Good
THE GREATER GOOD is a character-driven documentary that explores the cultural intersections where parenting meets modern medicine and individual rights collide with politics. The film offers parents, doctors and policy makers a safe space to speak openly, actively listen and learn from one another. Mixing verité footage, intimate interviews, 1950s-era government-produced movies and up-to-date TV news reporting, THE GREATER GOOD weaves together the stories of families whose lives have been forever changed by vaccination.
