The film takes on the U.S. healthcare system and the trend towards “medicalizing” the normal process of birth. This film is considered by many to be controversial as it proposes a distinct change from current practice. As you watch the film, you are encouraged to do so with an open mind.

You will need to have at least one reference in your paper, other than your textbook and the movie, and it must be written using proper APA reference citations. You should write this paper in the first person.Questions to Consider:1.What was your overall impression of the movie? 2.Have your opinions or views of childbirth and pregnancy in the US changed?
