      abstract = {The feature-length documentary BIRTH STORY: Ina May Gaskin  and The Farm Midwives tells the story of counterculture  heroine Ina May Gaskin and her spirited friends, who began  delivering each other's babies in 1970, on a caravan of  hippie school buses, headed to a patch of rural Tennessee  land. With Ina May as their leader, the women taught  themselves midwifery from the ground up, and, with their  families, founded an entirely communal, agricultural  society called The Farm. They grew their own food, built  their own houses, published their own books, and, as word  of their social experiment spread, created a model of care  for women and babies that changed a generation's approach  to childbirth.Forty years ago Ina May led the charge away  from isolated hospital birthing rooms, where husbands were  not allowed and mandatory forceps deliveries were the norm.  Today, as nearly one third of all US babies are born via  C-section, she fights to preserve her community's hard-won  knowledge. With incredible access to the midwives' archival  video collection, the film not only captures the unique  sisterhood at The Farm Clinic--from its heyday into the  present--but shows childbirth the way most people have  never seen it--unadorned, unabashed, and awe-inspiring.},
