Collaboration to create and birth this film

Born at Home was created by friends and homebirth mothers Amanda Banks and Eleanor Currie. We filmed a bunch of content ourselves but relied on the generosity of our local birth photographers, videographers and families to contribute additional labour, birth and hospital footage to provide the rich tapestry of homebirth experiences that you witness on the screen.
