Before I was introduced to the world of breastfeeding, I was shown that 
video while I was pregnant with my first baby - I have to say, I hated it, 
too, and couldn't really explain why - looking back, I realize now that I 
was terrified at the thought of trying to give birth without medications, 
and this video was showing me what I would be missing out on.  It seemed 
utterly unattainable to me, and therefore a waste of time to watch.  Later, 
in a childbirth preparation class, the instructor managed to explain how a 
drug free birth works, and how to survive it - she made it sound so do-able, 
that I planned on trying it (ultimately had a c-section).  I think I would 
have been more open to that video if I'd already decided that I could give 
birth drug-free.
