Why do breasts and breastfeeding excite such interest, controversy, rage, and passion?

BREASTMILK is an intimate exploration of the constructs that can make breastfeeding daunting for so many women. First-time filmmaker Dana Ben-Ari follows a diverse group of expectant parents in NYC from pregnancy through the first year of their child’s life. Before giving birth, the mothers share their goals and assumptions about breastfeeding and then Ben-Ari objectively documents each family’s journey with striking outcomes that subvert viewers' expectations. Interspersed with these personal stories, a cast of experts gives bold insight into questions of maternal and reproductive health, biological feminism, and of the moral dimensions of health. Audiences will be deeply engaged in BREASTMILK’s refreshingly unbiased perspective on this ancient, primal and controversial bond between mothers and babies.

Following the film there will be a panel discussion lead by Mairi Breen Rothman, CNM, of MAMAS and other local breastfeeding advocates.

Local exhibitors of breastfeeding information will have tables to share their information with movie goers.
