"Initially I thought the movie was just about home birth but what I discovered after the first 20 minutes is that it is about a parents right to choose how they want to deliver and to be supported no matter what that decision is. The Bub Hub urges all parents that want a system that supports ALL without judgement to join the cause."
Brad Lauder,
Co-Founder. The Bub Hub

"The Face of Birth is a fabulous film which demonstrates the importance of respecting women's choices during pregnancy and childbirth. The film also highlights the difficulty that women have accessing continuity of midwifery care in Australia, despite evidence demonstrating the significant benefits associated with this model of care for mothers and their babies".
