Overview

Dr. Michelle Minikel thought home birth was crazy--until she got pregnant. Turns out she's not alone. Join director Jessicca Moore on a compelling journey of discovery about maternity care in the US through the lens of doctors and nurses who attend birth in the hospital, but choose to have their own children at home. Through a balance of personal stories and the latest research, "Why Not Home?" challenges viewers to move beyond polarization and judgment and question what is possible for the future of maternity care.
