Things have been very challenging with finding funding and finishing our second TIME IS ART film… so in between the chaos a short documentary about birthing in power through natural childbirth was made. Not sure how we pulled it off but it all started with filming an interview with Nubia Martin an amazing midwife and human being who helped bring our daughter Ariel into the world (not in a hospital but at home!).

This inspiring and insightful documentary film features Nubia Martin, the founder of Birth from the Earth, a non-profit, dedicated to making home birth safe, sacred, and accessible to those who need it the most. As a midwife and educator, Nubia has made it her mission to address maternal health disparities that negatively impact BIPOC women, mothers, babies, and their families
Her commitment to creating equity, quality, and love through her birthing center has offered hundreds of women an alternative to the broken for-profit medical system. The film also features mothers and partners and their empowering home birth experiences as well as their personal photos and videos documenting the magical side of birthing at home.
