Ricki Lake Debuts New Documentary More Business of Being Born

Actress Ricki Lake and filmmaker Abby Epstein follow their landmark documentary, The Business of Being Born, with an all-new, four part DVD series that continues their provocative and entertaining exploration of the modern maternity care system. More Business of Being Born offers a practical look at birthing options as well as poignant celebrity birth stories from stars including Alanis Morissette, Gisele Bundchen, Christy Turlington-Burns, Cindy Crawford, Molly Ringwald, Laila Ali, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Melissa Joan Hart.

Inspired by their own unique birth experiences, Lake, who served as Executive Producer on the film, and Epstein teamed up in 2007 to provide a nation of mothers-to-be with insight into the process of childbirth and the various options available when preparing for life’s most special event. In addition to exploring the roles of midwives, doulas and rising C-section rates around the world, the film features celebrity moms in a collection of intimate birth stories from a diverse group of mothers. The heartfelt and humorous testimonies speak to the lasting power of the birth experience.
