Synopsis by Tracie Cooper
This documentary chronicles the life of counterculture heroine Ina May Gaskin and her friends, who famously taught themselves midwifery and founded a communal, agricultural society known as The Farm. Gaskin herself discusses the cultural shift towards c-sections and hospital births, and makes a case for natural childbirth techniques.
