Miri and Amit completely and perfectly capture the months leading up to their home
birth in a fast paced city where most women give birth in the hospital with an epidural.
Exactly what is needed, love and affection, and what is not needed, fear and lots of
baby stuff, becomes apparent as these experienced filmmakers take us on an intimate
journey towards the birth of their first child. This film is witty, profound and
absolutely delightful.
One sure way to reduce anxiety about how to hold and interact happily with a baby is to learn
infant massage. David Stark's video is a superb demonstration of ancient massage techniques.
Each part of the baby's body is addressed. We learn about "Still Touch," "Connecting Strokes,"
massaging "Legs and Feet, Stomach, Chest, Arms and Hands, Face, Back," and "Stretches." One
chapter titled "Just Music and Babies" treats us to gorgeous images of babies being massaged
by their mommies and daddies. The music is original and perfectly calming. This video shows
how we can relate to one another - gently, lovingly, with listening heart and hands. It should
be required viewing for obstetricians and pediatricians, not just new parents.
Christina and Nielsen van Duijn videotaped the births of their four children over a
twelve year period. Christina is passionate about wanting women to be empowered by
their birth experience. With the help of Frank Ferrel, ("Birth Day") the story of
this family's birth unfolds through laughter, joy, tears and children.
This video explores the highs and lows of giving birth in the United States. It is
wildly funny in parts. It is also sobering when considering issues such as the misuse
of drugs like Cytotec to induce labor.
At last, the video we've all
been waiting for. Debra Pascali-Bonaro spent five years researching, interviewing and collaborating
for this groundbreaking film which presents birth as an ecstatic experience. Eleven couples share
their intimate personal journeys. Interviews include Ina May Gaskin, Maureen Corry, Elizabeth Davis,
Sarah Buckley, Marsden Wagner and Christiane Northrup.
This is a brand new two disc DVD
which includes Home Birth: The Spirit, The Science, The Mother (Part 1), and EVIDENCE BASED
CHILDBIRTH (Part 2).
Dr. Marshall
Klaus has studied infant bonding and newborns for over forty
years. He, along with John Kennell, introduced the Doula concept into mainstream
US medical practice. Now, filmmakers from Italy have combined an interview with
Dr. Klaus and footage from four (Italian) home births in a profound and simple
video which should be required viewing for all parents, obstetricians, nurses,
and childbirth educators. "This half hour video is something quite unique:
Marshall's vast experience combined with a family's raw emotion and love."
Filmed in France, Russia and the US, released in 1986, this is the Mother of all waterbirth
films. It shows a very young and enthusiastic Dr. Michel Odent singing with his clients in
prenatal classes. He is interviewed by an American doctor and one of the very first American
couples to have a waterbirth. We see Igor Charkovsky with expectant moms in a Russian swimming
pool as he guides them through wild and wonderful exercises to prepare them for an optimal
experience. We hear from Dr. Michael Rosenthal in the heday of his birthing center in Southern
California.
A beautiful collection of seven waterbirths, including
a home waterbirth, attended by midwife, Jennifer Gallardo, at the Andaluz Waterbirth Center in

a belly cast, to the unexpected surprise of her water breaking days before labor begins.
Russian Spiritual Midwife, Tatyana Sargunas, and her filmmaker
husband, Alexi, recorded five totally natural, incredible waterbirths. Their original footage takes you
on a breathtaking expedition to witness families birthing in the Black Sea, and into their home to see
the birth of their own babies in a hand-made clear birthing pool.
It's My
Body, My Baby, my Birth is an educational childbirth film that

and edited by Judy Seaman, A Clear Road to Birth is a 56-minute
documentary about women who choose to give birth without any medical assistance
at all.
This video
shows the birth of vertex twins after a labor of less than one hour. The mother
was told her twins would have to be delivered by cesarean section. After
thorough screening by the Farm Midwives, she was accepted for delivery at the
Farm Midwifery Center. Innovative care resulted in the natural births of the
babies.
"This
film delivers a powerful transmission of what it really takes to give birth
consciously." Tatiana Sargunas - Midwife and Mother of 4
Birth Day is a documentary

An anthropological study of life in Hamar, Southern Ethiopia. Duka's husband
has married a beautiful second wife who gives birth outside.
