Birth Day is a documentary exquisitely capturing the beauty of a natural home birth in the lush mountain coutryside of Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. Taped by the baby's grandfather, Georges Vinaver, and narrated by the baby's mother, midwife Naoli Vinaver Lopez, we are treated to the birth of this family's third child and first daughter, Tamaya Okumura Vinaver.
One of our staff members here at Mama Goddess watched this incredible video during a college course in human development many years ago. Looking back, that was the first time she was introduced to the idea of a home water birth, a birth experience that was far from what mainstream media and modern society conditions us to fear. It was incredibly moving and eye-opening, and paved the way for us to find Mama Goddess itself.
The way the husband holds her in a sort of a dance during active labor and how her two older children jump in the tub with them... This is a great DVD to watch and share, especially for those who have any apprehensions about birthing at home or in water.
