I'm watching Power of One, great movie, need to finish it when the girls
are asleep.  At the beginning of the movie a white mom gives birth in
the late 1930's in South Africa.  Her husband had died 3 weeks before
(not sure that's important, but I found it sad.)  The mom is obviously
at home on her farm and wide awake, no meds, as she welcomes her baby
into her arms.  The next scene is the baby nursing.  It looked rather
real to me, but the breast is dark brown and it's a close up.  The
camera pans up to show an African nursing the white newborn, then
putting that child down and picking up her own slightly older baby and
nursing that baby next.
