i found this yesterday on a thread at longhaircommunity.com (yes, i am a dork), and i was really moved by it. the actual film is not released yet, this is just a long trailer.
i think it addresses an incredibly important--and completely unexplored--issue in modern childbirth experience. what is the role of the father? why is he marginalized during the birth process and what does it mean for humanity? for his own identity as a father? for his child's relationship to him?
their blog is here, and contains some other interesting posts relating to birth and human rights issues which we absolutely do not address in our culture... as if babies are "not really human" yet and have no rights... (yes, a post on circumcision is DEFINITELY on the way)
