Freedom For Birth (NR)

synopsis

The main character in the film is the Hungarian midwife Ágnes Geréb who has been criminally prosecuted and has served time in prison for supporting women who chose home birth. A Hungarian mother Ágnes supported in her homebirth, Anna Ternovszky, took her country to the European Court of Human Rights in 2010 and won a landmark case that now means every mother in Europe has the legal right to decide the circumstances of her birth.
As the film reveals, the ECHR Ternovszky ruling may hold the key to protecting women's birth rights in the future, not just in Europe but right around the world. A global birth revolution has begun!
