Pacific Mother
Film (Trailer) – 2023
All of us, in every country, have lost a lot of our own personal birthing knowledge. I just think it's time we got it back.
– Karen Guilliland, ex Chief Executive of the NZ College of Midwives
Why did we have to fight so hard to get the birth that feels so right?
– Sachiko Fukumoto
We want to build a society where pregnant women who have this ocean inside them, can live comfortably. That's our basic goal, I believe.
– An indigenous midwife on pregnancy being a part of nature
