DONA Doula Workshop with Debra Pascali-Bonaro this August at the New York Open Center
For the first time since completion of their award-winning
documentary, the ORGASMIC BIRTH production team reunited to begin capturing video for their newest Documentary - BIRTH in COMMUNITY.
Debra Pascali Bonaro joined Co-Director and Editor, Kris Liem, and
Director of Ph
otography, David Ford, for a day of filming at the Northern Manhattan Perinatal Partnership in Harlem, NYC to film a powerful interview with the CEO, Mr Dummonds, and witness an incredible gathering with Ekua, the Health Education Coordinator and the new director of their community doula program. http://www.sisterlink.com/
The team filmed the Partnership’s first historic doula meeting with
first-time clients who learned all about what a doula does, and does
not do. The soon-to-be mothers left feeling more confident and less
fearful of their upcoming births and excited about having a doula.
The footage captured today, along with footage being shot in India and Brazil, will soon be available via the fundraising trailer at www.birthincommunity.com.

“Young women need to see this film, which shows what is possible. Medical and nursing students need to see it, as do family practice and ob/gyn residents, whose training is almost only about surgery and pathology. No wonder we are in trouble!”
