Birth Rites documents Julia Lauder giving birth at home surrounded by her family. Her film focuses on women’s agency during homebirth in contrast to some women’s experiences in a hospital setting. It shows the value of physical and psychological support during labour, and the importance of touch in establishing bonds with newborns directly after birth.
