A Baby is Born

Waiting for the moment you've been waiting for for 9 months: the birth of your child. A couple is faced with preparing for childbirth. Excitement and personal worries mingle, and even if a woman is surrounded during this so-called ‘magical’ moment, she finds herself alone in the face of her fatigue, contractions and pain. This unique moment is accompanied by medical explanations of childbirth, contractions, time management during labour and a discussion of contraception, making this film an educational documentary.

Directed by Henry Mayer
