Is anyone going to see this? I was tearing up just watching the trailer! I hope it comes to a theater near us

I want to so bad but it never comes anywhere near I live! I'm hoping it will come out on DVD or something soon, does anyone know?

I heard there will be a limited theatrical release in January, with a DVD release a month or two later.

We got to see a special screening of it earlier this month...it was great! DH and I both teared up in a few of the birth scenes.

ETA: Yep, the site says: "The film will be released theatrically in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco in January 2008 and the video release will be in March, 2008."

This movie is EVERYWHERE so Mamas, look out for birth related groups or college campuses near you to be sponsoring it! I know we're showing it in Iowa City on January 25th and I can't wait to go. Everything I've heard about it is AMAZING!

DH & I have tix for a screening on December 11, & hopefully dragging a few other pregnant moms with me...

I KNOW (about the trailer) - that last bit, the voiceover of the mom meeting her baby for the first time, omigosh, I'm getting teary again even thinking about it. I totally started bawling the first time I saw the trailer.

I am going to a viewing next Friday in someones home, I am really looking forward to it.

So how are you guys finding screenings? I'm in St. Louis, and I haven't heard of it coming anywhere soon, but I would LOVE to see it, especially before the birth of this little one. I can't seem to get too much info from the website.

I'll be checking this out in San Antonio in December and am ridiculously excited!! One thing my DH is really stuck on is that he doesn't care what kind of provider we have (OB, midwife, etc.), but he is pretty insistent on hospital birth. I'm hoping that this documentary will open his eyes up to some other possibilities. We'll see!
