Sneak Preview on October 29, 2007: "The Business of Being Born"

Birth is a miracle, rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business. Join us for an exclusive, sneak preview of a movie that is bound to be the major consciousness-raising documentary film of the year.

When celebrity actress and talk show host Ricki Lake, delivered her first baby, it was a fairly typical birth, yet the experience left her wanting something more. Her second birth experience was so life-changing that she felt compelled to make a movie examining the way we birth in America.

She approached Emmy-award winning filmmaker Abby Epstein to collaborate on "The Business of Being Born" to examine birth culture in America and challenge what we THINK we know. The fundamental question: should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potential medical emergency?

Surprising answers are uncovered in "The Business of Being Born," a must-see movie for anyone even thinking about having a baby!

The doors will open at 6:45 pm. Showtime is 7:30 pm.

Seating is limited. Tickets are $10 each. Proceeds will be donated to ICAN of Northern Virginia (501c3).
