Celebrity mom Ricki Lake and filmmaker Abby Epstein draw on their personal experiences in exploring The Business of Being Born.

This 85-minute-long documentary follows clients of NY midwife Cara Muhlhahn as they consider their birth choices. The film includes interviews with well-known advocates for physiological birth including: Dr. Michel Odent, an OB/GYN and author of The Caesarean; Susan Hodges, President of Citizens for Midwifery; and Dr. Robbie Davis-Floyd, PhD in Medical Anthropology and author of Birth as an American Rite of Passage.

The Business of Being Born debuted in April 2007 at the Tribeca (NY) Film Festival, receiving a standing ovation, and will have a very limited release. Catch a Sneak Preview hosted by ICAN of the Midlands!

There will be a panel discussion and Q&A session at the conclusion of the movie.
