The 成人头条 School of Nursing, American College of Nurse Midwives and the 成人头条 Birth Alliance will show the premiere screening of "Microbirth" at 6:15 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, at the Eugene M. Hughes Metropolitan Complex at 5015 E. 29th Street N.
Admission is $10. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Following the movie there will be a panel discussion.
Featuring prominent scientists from the UK and North America, 鈥淢icrobirth鈥� examines how modern birth practices could be interfering with critical biological processes, potentially making children more susceptible to disease later in life.
鈥淚 believe this film will be an eye-opener for many,鈥� said Barbara Morrison, associate professor in the Janice M. Riordan Distinguished Professorship in Maternal and Child Health in the WSU School of Nursing.
鈥淎s a society, we love technology and think that technology makes it better, but we have not been aware of the ripple effect of the accompanying changes,鈥� said Riordan.
Morrison says this film is for everyone, even though it is about birth. It will start the discussion of how birth practices and early care impact individuals and society.
