ALLOWED TO BIRTH
The Journey of a Global Midwife
Documentary screenings across Queensland
HBQ is excited to share upcoming Queensland screenings of Allowed to Birth: The Journey of a Global Midwife, a new documentary exploring physiological birth, maternity care and the importance of dignity, autonomy and informed choice in birth.
Following the life and work of midwife and educator Kristine Lauria, the film brings together stories and perspectives from around the world to explore the increasing medicalisation of birth and the movement towards respectful, woman-centred care.
HBQ has emailed HBQ members with a discount code for discounted tickets. Discount does not apply to the Townsville screening.
