The Business of Being Born
In America today, birth is a billion dollar business. But who is really benefiting?
Directed by Abby Epstein
Produced by Barranca Productions
A documentary investigation into America's medicalized birth industry that balances personal testimony with systemic critique, grounded in the director's own maternal experience.
Birth: it's a miracle. A rite of passage. A natural part of life. But more than anything, birth is a business. Compelled to find answers after a disappointing birth experience with her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to explore the maternity care system in America
