Midwife (2013)
A beautiful film about homebirth

I had the opportunity to watch the screening of "Midwife" in Fargo with the filmmaker in attendance. It followed Minnesota homebirth midwife Sarah Biermeier through her first year as a certified professional midwife. Four edge of your seat births later, I was laughing, crying and just plain thankful for the work of birth workers everywhere throughout the film. The film exposed homebirth midwifery for what it is: a safe, viable option for women and families to give birth on their terms in a safe, supported way...in this case, that place is the dining room! This is a beautiful documentary that is never too preachy. I believe this film will catch fire and be viewed and loved across the country.
