The other day, my wife had WGN Radio on in the car while she was running errands. Though she wasn’t intently listening to the radio, she heard something that made her stop and crank up the volume. It was an ad for a new documentary film called The Business of Being Born. Seeing as how she’s pregnant, the title of the film fascinated her. When she got home, she googled it and we watched the trailer together. I was blown away that a film had been made about this! One of my biggest considerations when choosing a hospital is the percentage of C-sections they perform. If it’s high, I get very uneasy about using their services.
I applaud Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein for grabbing this issue by the horns. You can watch the trailer here (I apologize for the abuse of God’s name at the end). It played in Chicago’s Music Box Theater this past weekend. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to go, but we plan to rent it when it’s released on DVD.
Any thoughts on the trailer?
