BellyBelly's Screening: The Business of Being Born - Post-Movie Discussion

[BellyBelly]

BellyBelly is hosting a special advance screening of The Business of Being Born right here in Melbourne! Don't let it phase you that this documentary is American and irrelevant - Australia has a HIGHER caesarean section rate than the USA and the same drugs like syntocinon (Pitocin in the USA) are given to many women every single day.

MOVIE SCREENING HAS BEEN BEEN COMPLETED - YOU CAN NOW ORDER THE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN FROM THE BELLYBELLY ONLNE STORE: BellyBelly Pty Ltd - Shopping Cart

Kel I transferred the money to BB acount yesterday, so hopefully it will show up today! ohhhhh I can't wait!

[BellyBelly]

Just to clarify something since a small minority group are creating a huge hoo-ha about this, as I am not a not-for-profit putting on this documentary so they are taking upon themselves to make loud and unpleasant noises - you don't need to be a not-for-profit and many not-for-profit groups are putting the movie on. I have written consent and blessings from The Business of Being Born and those in the industry to hold this. So please ignore any nonsense you hear, I have full permission and it's going to be an awesome event. I have invited some special guests and it's going to be a sell out. I am priviledged to have access to so many women on BB who I can help to see it. There are enough women around Australia to see hundreds of screenings of this and thats all that matters - that women see it.
