With confidence, in privacy, with the support of those who know how to accompany the mother; through experience and knowledge of mothers and ancestors.
During my pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium, making decisions regardless of what the system indicates, and paying attention to my needs, instincts, feelings and opinions, was quite a challenge.
A challenge that made me understand the need for a revolution, for a REVOLUTIONARY MOTHERHOOD.
After the wonderful gift of giving birth at home, in confidence, with my life partner and older daughter, with the force of a storm and a volcano inside me (a feeling that was present for many days), when I listen to stories of «normal» births of friends, peers and strangers, I enter in a deep state between rage and sadness, because what they describe are scenes of torture and mistreatment, worthy of any horror movie with blood, saws, white robes and hospital corridors.
That is why I decided to make an audiovisual story based on my experience, a project that came from a video diary that I kept during my second pregnancy, birth and postpartum, and that has been transforming and growing more and more each day. Research and collaborations began to integrate into a network of testimonies, proposals of personal autonomy and analysis of issues related to the possibility of exercising a free and conscious motherhood, which today is a completely revolutionary act.
