We will also be showing select scenes from" Laboring Under an Illusion, Mass Media Childbirth vs. The Real Thing". This documentary explores media-generated myths about childbirth and how our culture affects our birth experiences. The result is hilarious, engaging, and enlightening. http://www.birth-media.com
