The Business of Being Born (2008)
Starring Julia Barnett Tracy, Abby Epstein, Ina May Gaskin
Directed by Abby Epstein
Director Abby Epstein's controversial documentary takes a hard look at America's maternity care system, juxtaposing hospital deliveries against the growing popularity of at-home, natural childbirths that some expectant parents are opting for. Former talk show host Ricki Lake was inspired to produce this compelling exposé after a dissatisfying birthing experience with her first child left her with many unanswered questions.
