BIRTH STORY: INA MAY GASKIN AND THE FARM MIDWIVES tells the story of counterculture heroine Ina May Gaskin and her spirited friends, who began delivering each otherʼs babies in 1970, on a caravan of hippie school buses, headed to a patch of rural Tennessee land. With Ina May as their leader, the women taught themselves midwifery from the ground up, and became an integral part of a new, entirely communal, agricultural society called The Farm. The people of the Farm grew their own food, built their own houses, published their own books, and, as word of their social experiment spread, created a model of care for women and babies that changed a generationʼs approach to childbirth.
Today, as nearly one third of all US babies are born via C-section, she fights to preserve her community's hard won knowledge. With incredible access to the midwivesʼ archival video collection, the film not only captures the unique sisterhood at The Farm Clinic--from its heyday into the present--but shows childbirth the way most people have never seen it unadorned, unabashed, and awe inspiring.
BINI BIRTH in Sherman Oaks, CA hosts a one night only special screening event, followed by a Q&A discussion with the filmmakers and local birth professionals.
