This documentary reveals that birth is something a woman can enjoy, rather than endure. Orgasmic Birth intersperses expert commentary with stunning moments of women in the ecstatic release of childbirth. Witness the power of birth through the lives of 11 families. You will never think about birth the same way again!
Orgasmic Birth is a documentary that examines the intimate nature of birth, an everyday miracle, and the powerful role it plays in women’s lives when they are permitted to experience it fully. This documentary asks viewers to re-examine everything they thought they knew about giving birth and the potential it holds.
Undisturbed birth is revealed as an integral part of women’s sexuality and a widely neglected human right. Couples share their birth experiences, discussing their fears and how they found the support, nurturing, and ultimately the power and strength within themselves to labor and birth their babies in a beautiful, loving, and ecstatic way.
