Daytime talk-show host (and mother of two) Ricki Lake produced filmmaker Abby Epstein’s documentary about the pros and cons of natural childbirth. Epstein’s own first pregnancy during production supplies extra drama. Doctors and midwives give expert opinions, but mothers, many shown giving birth at home, are the focus of this passionate argument against treating pregnancy as a disease., While the United States has perhaps the most advanced health care system in the world, it also has the second-highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized nation, and many have begun to question conventional wisdom regarding the way obstetricians deal with childbirth. While midwives preside over the majority of births in Europe and Japan, fewer than ten percent of American mothers employ them, despite their proven record of care and success. How do American doctors make their choices regarding the way their patients give birth, and who is intended to benefit? Director Abby Epstein and producer Ricki Lake offer a probing look at childbirth in America in the documentary The Business of Being Born, which explores the history of obstetrics, the history and function of midwives, and how many common medical practices may be doing new mothers more harm than good. The Business of Being Born was screened as part of the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.
