Sione's Wedding

This is also called "Samoan Wedding"
From Netflix: This lighthearted comedy follows Michael, Albert, Stanley and Sefa, four thirtysomething friends who refuse to grow up. Notorious for crashing weddings, they've all been banned from Michael's little brother's wedding unless they straighten up and bring respectable dates -- which is easier said than done. With this coming-of-age story, director Chris Graham reveals a side of New Zealand's Polynesian culture that is rarely seen.

Seri Luangphinith recommended this film to MedFlix as it deals with unplanned pregnancy. 2006 97 minutes

I saw this recently (July 2008) and agree it is an extraordinary documentary. It should be viewed by all medical students, ObGyns, nurses and future parents. The rumors about midwives that circulate in medical circles are clearly false. Like so much else in medicine the bottom line determines "care."

All My Babies

Available from Nexflix: "Originally intended as an educational film for illiterate midwives, this historically significant documentary captures the conditions of poor, black families living in rural Georgia in the 1950s through the eyes of veteran midwife "Miss Mary" Coley. Also included is the bonus public service film Palmour Street (1949), which portrays the everyday lives of African-American families in Gainesville, Ga." 1952 54 minutes
