Working with midwife and activist Jodi Garrod (@DoulaParis) over the past few months, I had the pleasure of meeting and filming the remarkable Renata Rodrigues, at the birth of her daughter, Ludmilla. My short film, ‘My Choice’ is intended as a document of one woman’s personal experience of childbirth, and her positive testimony of a natural, unobstructed birth. My role as a filmmaker was to tell Renata’s story, and hopefully create a resource which can be used in educational context for other midwives and mothers.
