Pregnant in America

When his wife became pregnant with their first child, Steve Buonaugurio was prompted to make this, his first film, which documents the couple's experience with the American maternity system. It reveals the cabal of hospital, insurance and health organizations that puts profits before a pregnant woman's safety and health. Buonaugurio also records the couple's plans for a home birth, their ultimate defiance of the system.
