This 1-hour SAMPLER is from the 5-hour film series created from Birthing The Future’s International Symposium II: The Roots of Love and Violence.

Hosted by Suzanne Arms

It includes excerpts from the presentations of:
– research from cellular biology and brain development
– the experience of a mother whose birth felt like a rape
– a Mexican-American pediatrician who experienced 3 births in the techno-medical model, her healing and  transformative journey to becoming a holistic physician
– the experiences of a French/British medical anthropologist living for parts of many years with an indigenous group in the Amazonian jungle and the differences she experienced between their births and her own hospital births in England
– an American psychiatrist’s journey into the sacred feminine and masculine and shamanic practices
– a Dutch nurse’s experiences working in American hospitals in birth and postpartum
– a panel of fathers, a grandfather & a gay co-parent
– a German businessman’s personal transformation through the birth of his children and his research as a sociologist in the U.S.
– a Jewish mother’s transformation following the circumcision of her 2 sons
– a midwife who created a model birthing center in Alaska

We think you’ll find the excerpts on this Sampler so fascinating that you will want to watch all 5 films of this series and share them with others.
