BORN AT HOME
Director: SAMEERA JAIN
Year of Production: 2000
Short Description: ‘Born at Home’ observes indigenous birth practices in parts of India.
Poised between social reality and the eternal mystery of childbearing, the film presents an intricate delineation of the figure of the dai (midwife) who is almost always a low-caste, poor woman.
The dais methods are holistic, conceiving of childbirth not as pathology but continuation of organic life. Gender and class issues are juxtaposed with the filming of the miracle of an actual birth. Mind-body, earth-cosmos become one unified whole when, negotiating the nether world of pain and labour, a new life thrusts it way up into the sun. The dai’s hands are experienced and empathetic as she guides the process.
