This is absoluteyl the truth! We women must wake up and see reality for what it is. The hospital has created an illusion of safety and health for us and our babies.

I am the midwife in the beginning of this video, Candace Whitridge, and my concerns back in 1993 when this interview was done are proving prophetic. The inherent wisdom that women have to push life out of their bodies is slowly going into a disconnect mode, as it becomes more difficult to find caregivers who believe in this wisdom. This mini documentary addresses this fundamental truth, and encourages the empowerment of women to “remember before they forget”. Well done.
