One Sentence Movie Reviews: “The Business of Being Born”
The Business of Being Born (2008): "The inevitable result of valuing efficiency above all else who eventually make its way to something as fundamental as the creation of life."
Notes: Thrilling, terrifying documentary about the birth industry in America which has an infant and mother natal injury rate comparable to third world countries. Gives big props to midwifery and contains some squeamish scenes of actual births. Produced by Ricki Lake (that RIcki Lake) and Netflix’s Red Envelope Entertainment.
