How should we reflect on the act of giving birth and a woman’s rights concerning her body in modern society? At a time when technology is omnipresent in all aspects of society what place is left for the human side of childbirth?

Midwives who assist home births make us have a new look at our current practices regarding childbirth. They encourage and empower parents based on a non-intervention policy. In France where the standard is a high medicalization of maternity, these midwives are accused of lack of due care and are penalised for their professional work.

Muriel, Jacqueline, Sidonie and Cécile welcome us to discover a different perspective on childbirth and the place which society gives to midwives.
