" We are at a crossroads in our society as women take on a more equal role and question, will the feminine, sexual side of ourselves have to be sacrificed if we are to be full participants in the modern world? Are pregnancy and childbirth perilous disorders that need to be managed and controlled by modern medicine?  Orgasmic Childbirth, a link to the knowledge of past generations of midwives and childbirth activists, gives us a different path. Childbirth can be a challenging, difficult, joyous sexual experience. This is a movie that gives women courage, resources and inspiration to enable them to actively participate in the life-changing experience of childbirth. Thank you!" Ginny Cassidy-Brinn, ARNP, Director of Well Woman Services, Cedar River Clinics, Seattle, WA 

"After the screening, my mother and I were motivated to discuss our birth stories with each other in a new and meaningful way.  We haven't been close in a long time, but after the film we bonded over our similar experiences of the power of natural childbirth.  Thank you for sparking our conversation."  Summer Smith, Philadelphia, PA

"I was so moved by the viewing, I have recommended it to everyone I know!"  Tina Dean, Sterling Heights, MI

"This film is VERY important.  Bringing our children into this world in a safe, natural way imprints them for life.  Sharing this with mothers is one of the most powerful tools to help assure the strength, wisdom and empowerment of mothers is valued and respected. The strength and self respect to achieve an orgasmic birth will help our future generations understand the power of the circle of life!!! This is women taking back their bodies in the most beautiful way."   Elzabieta Kosmicki, Denver, CO

 "O filme mostra, finalmente, tudo o que um casal pode desejar para o parto e talvez nem saiba. As imagens são sedutoras, e a montagem primorosa. Vários participantes ficaram visivelmente emocionados e os casais que estão esperando bebê repensaram algumas de suas escolhas, na discussão que se seguiu à apresentação. Um filme que precisa ser visto por todos os profissionais da assistência ao parto bem como todas as mulheres que desejem ter filhos.   Imperdível!!!"
 
English translation:

"The film shows, finally, everything that a couple can wish for the birth of their child and maybe they even don't know they can. The images are seductive and the edition is primorous. Many attendants became visibly touched, and couples that are waiting for their births re-evaluated their choices in the discussion that followed the screening. A "must see" film for all birth professionals and all women that want to have babies as well."  Ana Cristina Duarte, Director, GAMA - Grupo de Apoio à Maternidade Ativa, Sao Paulo, Brasil

"I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my labor day!  The film was divinely inspired and a perfect combination of strength, surrender, peace, joy and love.  It made me laugh, cry and want to have another baby!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!"  Julie Olson, Childbirth Educator (Bradley Method Instructor), Denver, CO

"I am pregnant with my second child and was looking for birthing options without the use of medication. I happened to stumble upon this film at my local library.  If I had known the title of the film I probably wouldn't have seen it, but I am very glad I did. This movie prompted me to take a deeper look at birth and what a natural and life changing experience it truly is. It was reassuring to see birth portrayed in a positive and empowering way. Women need to see more of these kinds of films to take away from the negative images that we come face to face with everyday throughout our pregnancies. I believe that there is a strong mind/body connection in birth and the more positive empowering models I have to look to, the better I will be able to face my own birthing experience without fear. Positive and empowering information and images are what I am looking for to help me create a calm and positive environment to bring new life into."  Katie, Sterling Heights, Michigan
