Freedom for Birth: The Mothers’ Revolution

Freedom for Birth is a powerful call for reproductive justice. This 2012 documentary exposes the extent to which women around the world are denied the right to choose how and where to give birth. Watch the intrepid campaign to free Hungarian midwife Agnes Geréb from house arrest after her imprisonment for championing women’s right to choose. Hear women recount the trauma of being forced by courts to surrender to surgery or threatened with having their babies taken by welfare services. Enjoy the company of like minds, discussing experiences of women and midwives in Australia and sharing ideas about how we can win birthing rights and reproductive justice.
