I watched The Face of Birth (available on video) a few months ago, and it made me cry. I could really empathise with the women in the film, I have seen their situations occur over and over again during my work as a Midwife. I felt the isolation, the vulnerability and the lack of choice of the women in the film.
I would recommend all women see the film. It is not about Home birth, it is about choice.
