Friday, May 14th - Movie Night - Laboring Under An Illusion "In  over 100 video clips, anthropologist Vicki Elson explores media-generated myths about childbirth.  As a childbirth educator for 25 years, she observes daily how our culture affects our birth expereinces.  In this film, she contrasts fiction with reality.  The result is hilarious, engaging,and enlightening. To understand what it's really like to have a baby, we have to debunk the silly and scary images served up by the profit-driven media.  In reality, birth is hard work, sometimes simple sometimes complicated, but always miraculous and unforgettable""
