Ricki Lake On The Business Of Being Born
“Actress and former talk show host Ricki Lake has turned executive producer for the documentary The Business of Being Born, which will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival. Huffington Post asked her some questions.
What’s it like to premiere your film at the Tribeca Film Festival?
Right now my life feels completely surreal. I am so excited and honored to be a part of this amazing festival. The fact that most of the movie takes place in New York and that downtown New York is where I gave birth makes it even that much more meaningful to me. This is my debut as an executive producer.
Why did you want to produce this film?
I wanted to make this movie after my two very different birth experiences with my children. I felt like I had an opportunity to explore and question birthing practices in this country and perhaps be an advocate for mothers’ rights and better maternity care.”
Go Ricki Go!
