Powerful, passionate and thought-provoking, with commentary by a dozen 
preeminent health professionals--including midwife Ina May Gaskin and 
Dr. Christiane Northrup--and 11 women and their partners who share
 their birthing journey, Orgasmic Birth dismantles untruths about labor 
and birth that women have been told for generations. The women in the 
film are transfigured and transformed by the power of their own 
bodies. Pioneering first-time filmmaker Debra Pascali-Bonaro brings to
 the screen the ultimate challenge to our cultural myths by inviting 
viewers to see first hand the glorious emotional, spiritual, and
 physical heights attainable through the miracle of birth. Featuring 
the birth photography of Jada Shapiro, co-founder of Birth Day Presence.

 Stay after for a panel on birth with various local birth
 professionals, including Miriam Schwartzchild and Kristen Leonard
(local homebirth midwives), Amanda Segilia (St. Lukes Roosevelt birth 
center midwife), Terry Richmond and Jada Shapiro (birth doulas and
co-founders of Birth Day Presence), and more.
