Synopsis
A portrait of Ina May Gaskin and the courageous Midwives of the Farm commune who together inspired the modern midwifery movement. In the early 1970s, this spirited group of women rescued American midwifery from extinction, changing the way a generation approached pregnancy. Their charge is to protect their knowledge of natural childbirth and to promote respectful, safe maternity practices all over the globe. Today, their efforts continue at the Farm Clinic and across the country, working against an ever-growing hospital culture of intervention and C-section births.
