In celebration of World Doula Week, Valley Families for Midwifery and Valley Perinatal Services will be hosting two free screenings of the documentary film DOULA! The Ultimate Birth Companion. This 65 minute documentary film is being screened as part of a worldwide campaign to help raise awareness about the role of doulas (professional birth companions).
Through close-up documentary footage of three doula-supported births, Doula! captures the non-medical but highly practical and emotional support given to the mother before, during and after childbirth. This unique look into a doula supported birth is captured through two intimately filmed home water births and accompanied by a video diary shot by the parents of a home birth that ends in a hospital caesarean section.
Screenings will be held at two Valley library locations in Berwick and in Wolfville. There will be an opportunity for informal discussions and/or questions following the film. Light refreshments will be provided. The screening is open to all members of the community.
