Ricki Lake Birth Documentary: The Business of Being Born

You could get a group together to screen it - $200 to hire the film and of course the venue/equipment costs. Anyone could put it on, or you could approach a group to do it. I am sure some birth groups will do it.

Kell, I am talking to our local homebirth midwife about having this screened locally. Do you know exactly what is involved. ie: you pay the $200, then what? I am really hoping we can organise this soon for our area.

I heard its going to be in the Blue Mountains soon - and also SA and WA are planning it... as well as me doing a VIC one. So as soon as I have details will let you know - all the details are on their website for booking a screening. xx

**BellyBelly** · November 9th, 2007, 01:22 PM

One is being planned in WA - watch this space and I will pass it on when I know.

oh awesome thanks Kelly!!

KELLY - Is there going to be a presentation by What Women Want at the Melbourne screening?

The cost has gone up to $300 now, and the DVD will be released in March '08 for those willing to wait.

There are screenings in the works for Brisbane too...

There will be a screening in Adelaide on the 2nd of December - awaiting confirmation will let you know. There are screenings in Byron Bay, Parramatta, Hobart, ACT and Perth being planned too.

oh i would love to see it! Baby might have other plans...!!! Do you know where and who is organising it in Adelaide?

**Indadhanu** · November 12th, 2007, 06:50 AM

How much would the DVD be to buy in March? And where would the QLD screening be held? I would love to come, and even Shel is interested, as well as my SIL and another friend... What kind of venue and equipment is needed? Just wondering, I really want to see this, have heard so much about it.

Looking forward to the WA screening.

I watched this with DF on saturday night and I have to say

THANKYOU

to belly belly for putting this out there and promoting this doco - had it not been for you guys I probably would not have heard of this and would have gone on to use my ob. (even with everythign else I have read on BB etc I sstill wanted my ob, until I watched this)

YOU HAVE SAVED ME NEARLY $3,000.00!!!!!!!!!!

I am now booking in to the labour ward (birthing centre full but looks promising that they might be able to fit me in - not quite sure how that works??!!) so hopefully natural no drug, no intervention delivery here we come!!!

YOU HAVE SAVED ME NEARLY $3,000.00!!!!!!!!!!

And probably alot more besides, Kitt3n

It's great that you got so much from the film...I think the beauty of it is that it conveys so well what alot of us here bang on about, day in day out - in such a powerful way! Wonderful film, I can't wait to see it again

Good luck for your birth!

**New Dawn** · August 4th, 2008, 09:51 AM

Does anyone know if you can Buy it here yet? or when or where I could see it... would love to have it at home as I would love for my DS and DD1 to be at the birth of number 4 not the I am even UTD yet LOL but think it would be good for them to see what a birth would be like...

Would it be a good thing for them to see before they see me or not ?

**Kitt3n** · August 4th, 2008, 10:01 AM

tali, i dont know if your kids would sit through the whole thing but I wouldnt have a problem with DD watching it.

**MantaRay** · November 15th, 2007, 07:31 PM

Ooh, goodie for the Brissy one, we usually get left out. If anyone hears details of one in Brissy can you please post them? I'd love to see it.

Thanks Hester thats fine, if you could please ask permission before posting events next time, as per all BB members (like yourself) have to do as part of our forum guidelines.
