A Mother is Born showing in Ottawa
A Mother is Born will be shown as part of the Choice! A Birth and Baby Film Festival on Friday, February 21, 2014 at 19:00 at St. Paul’s university. There is a presentation by Louise Hayden before the film – Returning to Wise Woman Ways, at 18:15, and a discussion panel afterwards.
A Mother is Born is a documentary created by Birthing Babies Together.
“We are a group of three medical students from the University of Alberta (U of A) who have come together to create an educational documentary about woman-centered care that focuses on the various birthing options available for low-risk obstetrics. Our mission is to bridge the gap between doulas, midwives, nurses and physicians with a focus on interprofessional education. We want to discover where common ground exists. ”
“Our goal was to create a film that was respectful, balanced and evidence based. Instead of furthering the divide, we wanted to promote collaboration. One of the biggest goals of our film is intended to foster respect for the contributions of all disciplines. ”
