The Business of Being Born:
Filmmaker Abby Epstein and actress Ricki Lake collaborate to explore how
childbirth is treated in America. Is birth a natural, safe process,
or a medical phenomenon with the potential to go seriously wrong? Many
current points of view are explored in this powerful documentary.
The free film screening will be followed by a panel discussion of six local
childbirth professionals. They will discuss their perspectives, relate the
film to the local community, and answer questions from the audience.
Come join us on Tuesday, November 8th at 6:30 p.m. in the Anthropology
Building room 163. See attached flier for more details. For further
