* Presented by Greatfull Wellness, Moonsong Midwifery and Beacon Community Midwifery* *In-person Q&A with Filmmaker Jacinta Lagos and Kristine Lauria will follow* This documentary explores the growing medicalization of birth through the life and work of a dedicated midwife committed to protecting birth as a natural physiological process. Through intimate stories, expert perspectives, and real-life experiences, the documentary invites audiences to reconsider what it means to give birth with dignity, autonomy, and trust in the body’s innate capacity. The film is both a personal journey and a broader exploration of the global movement to restore respectful, informed, and empowering birth.
