What if we were taught.. Born at Home with Amanda Banks and Eleanor Currie
If you have only ever seen birth on TV shows and movies you’ll notice it tends to go for drama and often portrays birth as a medical, painful and dramatic event right? But is this really what birth is like?
Most people have never seen what a physiological birth can actually look like- let alone a home birth. If this is so, they have not seen the POWER, the MAGIC and the HEALING ability that birth truly can be.
Finally, we have a film that shows us what birth can truly look like.
Born at Home is a stunning documentary film exploring what it takes to have a positive and transformative birth experience and emphasises that where and how women choose to birth matters.
So today we are joined with Producer and co creator Amanda Banks and Eleanor Currie -co creator as well as documentary filmmaker, videographer, photographer of this incredible film.
If you are wishing to explore the possibilities of birth and learn about the different choices available, then this is the episode for you.
In this episode we chat about;
- The creative process behind the scenes of this film
- The overall message or “feeling” that they wanted this film to portray
- Eleanor shares her traumatic birth experience with her first baby and how making this film empowered her to have her own home VBAC!
- What inspired Amanda to make this film a reality
- The incredible panels that they produce at screenings in Australia
And so much more.
