  abstract: What if we could change the world by changing the way babies are born? Shot in El Paso, Texas, CATCHING BABIES tells the stories of mothers and midwives on the journey to bring life into the world. Kennasha, Jessica, Diana, and Sandra are struggling through one of the most demanding schools of midwifery in the country, Maternidad La Luz Birth Center and School, a school designed to be challenging in order to push women to understand their own strength. As the women juggle their rigorous academic struggles, they must also provide quality health care to mothers and babies. Founded in 1987, Maternidad La Luz provides natural birth options at a low cost to Mexican and Mexican American women and their families. This birth center offers services in Spanish and English and welcomes families from El Paso, but also from Juarez, Mexico. In the U.S. the use of midwives and home births has doubled since 2000. In this birthing experience, the mother's body leads the process while the midwife supports the mother. Families can create the loving, non-clinical environment that is right for them and enjoy a birth option that is statistically safer than hospital births. CATCHING BABIES takes viewers into intimate spaces by using close-up shots and the ambient sounds of bustling households. The midwives narrate the happenings of the clinic on-camera as they perform the meaningful work of supporting women through the most important moments of their lives. Watch the sister-midwives as they live and learn in this transformative place which gives birth to babies, mothers and midwives.
