Seats are limited, and an RSVP is a must. Please register only for the seats you know you will fill, print out your confirmation "ticket" and bring it with you to the film.
Pregnant in America examines the betrayal of humanity's greatest gift--birth--by the greed of U.S. corporations. Hospitals, insurance companies and other members of the healthcare industry have all pushed aside the best care of our infants and mothers to play the power game of raking in huge profits.
His wife pregnant, first-time filmmaker Steve Buonaugurio set out to create a film that will expose the underside of the U.S. childbirth industry and help end its neglectful exploitation of pregnancy and birth with help from producers Betsy Chasse and Straw Weisman.
Pregnant in America is the controversial story of life's greatest miracle in the hands of a nation's most powerful interests.

Please note: This film is not endorsed by SMS but rather the school offers it as part of the ongoing conversation about the crisis in birth in America and the importance of midwifery care as a safe, cost-effective solution. Come ready to participate in a lively and challenging conversation!
