"The Business of Being Born"
continues to tour the country to support the Save Independent Midwifery Campaign. The IMA organised over 20 national grass roots screenings. A big thank you to all who made this such a success!
On the 9th July 2009 we were very pleased to welcome Ricki Lake the producer of the film to the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) London. She attended a private press screening in support of our campaign and was available for a question and answer session afterwards (see photos). – Thanks again Ricki and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your family holiday in the UK.

See important Breaking News about criticism of the film and its message by the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists and the American Medical Association. Their recent resolution, in response to the publicity generated by the film, promotes hospital deliveries and opposes home births.
The IMA and National Childbirth Trust have issued a joint statement in response to the AMA's resolution.
