“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Winter

winter

this doco was made by a blackheathen.
2 yrs in the making this beautifully documents the journey of one woman's choice to home birth during a time of protests against legislation which would make independant midwifery impossible and take this womans choice away from her. this month, JULY 2010, saw the implementation of these (out)laws. Rani will be screening the documentary for the first time this month, as we wade through seemingly endless anti-homebirth media reports, opinion pieces and "news", since Danii Minogue became the new poster girl for anti-homebirth.

so we end the winter, the *winter *of our patriarchal overlords- for when you hold down a labouring woman and take her cubs your need to be prepared to get bitten.

winter, the time we retreat to the glow of our television, (read fire in cave), and ponder the images it thrusts into our slumbering minds... only to talk with others about these strange things- oh yes- masterchef™ is a fine distraction, meanwhile oil is spewing into the US occupied waters, war rages, dr who is dead possibly dead, and banning homebirth is the focus of many journalist (read ignorant human replica). WHY do less than 2% of women who give birth choose to birth at home? why not more? when something so normal, so natural, is pushed to the point of unexisting, along with breast feeding and mothering, we will have the peak of patriarchal dominance.
THE REVOLUTION IS ABOUT TO ARRIVE 2012!
