birth story of the week

Have you seen the trailer for the soon-to-be-released documentary about Ina May Gaskin and the Farm?  It looks great, and I can't wait to see the film in its entirety.  Towards that end, I just donated to the kickstarter campaign that the filmmakers have launched to ensure that the film gets as wide a release as possible.

Please watch the above clip (which includes the trailer) and consider pledging whatever you can to help make this movie a success.

"Anything you can give will help us birth this film—it’s an exciting time for independent documentaries and also a challenging one—funding sources have dried up and the market is harder than ever, especially for women-centered films. But we believe the time is right to present a movie that celebrates women and their bodies, that honors what we can accomplish when we work together in community, and that shows childbirth the way we never see it in the mainstream media—unadorned, unabashed, and awe-inspiring."
