Mother and Baby Film Festival Cape Town 2011

The first successful Mother and Baby Film Festival was held in Cape Town from the 15th to the 18th February 2011, organised and presented by Ruth Ehrhart and held at the LABIA CINEMA in Cape Town (appropriately)!

Women need to prepare for natural birth in every aspect of their lives, including the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical areas of their being. A woman deserves the right to choose her companions as well as where and how she will give birth to her child.

Pregnancy and birth are normal life events for most women. To this end, interventions should be kept to a minimum wherever possible. A baby who is born gently and welcomed by warm, caring parents receives the best possible start in life.

Women who are well prepared in their minds, bodies and spirits can experience birth as a profoundly moving and empowering event.
