The d.a.i. presents Trust and The Business of Being Born

Trust (USA, 2010) is a dark drama about the damaging effects an online sexual predator has on a family. Clive Owen and Catherine Keener play the parents of a 14-year-old girl who are stunned to discover she has been victimized by an adult who gained her trust posing as a teenager on a chat room. The father Will is torn between spending comfort to his family and taking violent revenge on the rapist of his daughter.

Footage of women having babies punctuates The Business of Being Born (USA, 2008). Each experience is unique; all are equally beautiful and equally surprising. Birth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business. This documentary film questions the way American women have babies and gains access to several pregnant New York City women as they weigh their options. Along the way the director Abby Epstein conducts interviews with a number of obstetricians, experts and advocates about the history, culture and economics of childbirth. The film‟s fundamental question: should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potential medical emergency?
