Birth is a miracle, rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business.

Join us for an encore sneak peek showing of a movie that is bound to be the major consciousness-raising documentary film of the year.

When celebrity actress and talk show host Ricki Lake delivered her first baby, it was a fairly typical birth, yet the experience left her wanting something more. Her second birth experience was so life-changing that she felt compelled to make a movie examining the way we birth in America. She approached Emmy-award-winning filmmaker Abby Epstein to collaborate on "The Business of Being Born" to examine birth culture in America and challenge what we THINK we know. The fundamental question: should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potential medical emergency?

Surprising answers are uncovered in "The Business of Being Born," a must-see movie for anyone even thinking about having a baby! See an excerpt at www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com -- click on "Excerpts" at the bottom.

Tickets are $10, available at the door (if not sold out), or in advance (recommended) via Google Checkout at this page: http://www.icanofnova.org/articles/news/ICAN_Sponsors_Leesburg,_VA_Sneak_Preview

We look forward to seeing you there. Please pass this along to others who may be interested. ICAN's previous showing in Arlington, earlier this month, sold out completely!
