In 2007, actress Ricki Lake and her producing partner Abby Epstein released their celebrated documentary, The Business of Being Born. Now, eight years later, the film — which explores the modern maternity care system — is being offered worldwide as video-on-demand on their relaunched website.
In addition to the relaunched website, Ricki interviewed fellow actress Stacy Keibler on her own home birth. The pair talked about birth, birth education and Stacy’s connection to The Business of Being Born. Watch the premiere of their interview, exclusively shared with SheKnows.com.
SheKnows was also able to chat with Stacy Keibler to find out more about the birth of her daughter, which took place at home, and the joy she finds in talking about it.
In addition to the relaunch of The Business of Being Born‘s website, producers Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein have been busy. The two have partnered up repeatedly for such documentaries like Breastmilk, Weed The People, the upcoming documentary The Mama Sherpas — which tells the stories of midwives working across America, and are currently crowd-funding their latest endeavor, a documentary based on the controversial book on hormonal contraception, Sweetening The Pill.
