Sacred Birth, a film by Gilbert Bowe and Carol de Bowe. In this exceptionally beautiful film, a couple in Peru have an unassisted birth in their garden. A gentle breeze blows and horses quietly graze in the surrounding fields as Carol gives birth into Gilbert's waiting hands. Their other two children look on in amazement. Gilbert ties off the cord and one of the children cuts it with Gilbert's help. A lovely placenta burial ceremony follows. With beautiful guitar music playing throughout, this is truly a unique and inspiring production. Since the family speaks Spanish, the film has English subtitles. 14 minutes, $30

This film is available in DVD only.
