After all of the terrible moments on various "reality" TV programs with screaming women, fear-mongering doctors and sterile, cold forceps, "The Mama Sherpas" is a documentary all humans need to experience. Along with "The Business of Being Born" and "Call the Midwife," Brigid Maher's story is, at once, enlightening, uplifting, heartening and informative. This documentary shares stories of VBAC, Caesarean births, first-time vaginal births, 3rd time births, and all birth experiences, in between. All women will benefit from viewing this film, discussing it with mates, and sharing it with anyone who was ever born. As every baby met the world and her/his mother for the first time in this film, I found myself beaming from ear to ear, pumping my fists into the air and cheering. Well done. Ms. Maher.
