Description

“Born at Home” explores and uncovers the empowering journey of homebirth, shedding light on the often overlooked and misunderstood option that has transformed lives.


The film dives into real stories of women navigating birth trauma and examines how a shift in environment and informed choices can reshape the birthing experience. Wisdom is shared from homebirth families, interwoven with evidence-based information from midwives, medical professionals, doulas, researchers and maternity advocates.


“Born at Home” explores the importance of an undisturbed hormonal flow, the benefits of continuity of carer, why the birthing environment matters and ultimately how homebirth may just be the key to reclaiming this amazing rite of passage.
