The film is directed by Debra Pascali-Bonaro and written by Debra Pascali-Bonaro and Jerusha Hull McCormack.

The film explains that when a woman is relaxed and in tune with her body, the birthing process can be a pleasurable experience. These experts also discuss the importance of creating a supportive environment for women during childbirth, and how this can impact the experience.
