Ricki Lake has been working on a birth documentary that is premiering at
the Tribeca Film Festival(http://www.tribecafilmfestival.org). The film, called The Business of Being Born (http://tinyurl.com/24fm9w), was directed by Abby Epstein, a New Yorker who tried for a home birth but needed medical assistance when she went into premature labor.
Epstein and producer Ricki Lake (who had a home birth in her tub and says it changed her life) explore and question the way American women have babies. Shocking
facts (which you will see me and others talk about in the film)regarding the historical and current practices of the birthing industry interweave with stories of couples who decide to give birth on their own terms.
You can buy tickets online at http://www.tribecafilmfestival.org/tff-bo-ticket-info.html. Otherwise, you can buy single tickets starting April 13th.
