Dear Friends:

We are very excited to announce that "The Business of Being Born" will open
theatrically on January 9th in New York City at the IFC Film Center (323 6th
Avenue at Waverly). Special "Bring your Baby" matinees will be scheduled by
the theater! The New York opening will be followed by a release in Los
Angeles on January 18th at the Music Box theater on Wilshire Blvd. and in
San Francisco on January 25th. (The specific theater is still TBD.)  

The film will be available to rent on Netflix in February 2008 (

in the spring of 2008.

We are also starting to get attention internationally! Ricki and Abby are on
their way to Sydney Australia for a screening on November 3rd as part of the
Homebirth Australia conference (

parts of Australia as well as New Zealand, Scotland, The Netherlands, UK and
Ireland!

Our website is still in development and we hope for it soon to include more
excerpts, testimonials and blogs.  The film's trailer is up now for you to
watch so if you have not yet seen it, please

More grassroots screenings are happening all over the United States and we
have been getting tremendous responses from people seeing the film. We love
hearing from you. Please pass on the word to people and check the listings
on the website to find a screening near you. Or if you don't see one being
planned in your area, let us know if you would like to host your own! It is
relatively easy, affordable and a great way for raising consciousness in
your community, funds for a non-profit and creating a press-worthy event.

Thank you all for your continued interest and support for the film. Like
you, we are hopeful it will make a real difference in the maternity care
system and expand birth options for women everywhere.

We will be in touch as more good things develop.

All the best, 

Abby, Ricki & THE BOBB TEAM

article by Daphne Beal, who had a homebirth with BOBB's Cara Muhlhahn!>>
