Breastmilk

  Directed by: Dana Ben-Ari Released: 2024 (educational) Year of Production: 2014 Running Time: 85 min Language: English,  Subtitle Options: English Closed Captions Subjects:  Women's Studies, Children Family and Youth                 Pregnant bodies are easier for society to accommodate. What follows birth is a different, messier story. With unexpected humor, with an unflinching camera, with some guilt and some pain, BREASTMILK takes the unusual risk of examining what breast milk truly means.We are often told that breast milk is better. Better for babies, better for mothers, better for nutrition, health, well-being, and society. Many accept this and yet there are still very few women who succeed in breastfeeding exclusively for the recommended six months and beyond. What would it take to change?              BREASTMILK received critical acclaim following its theatrical release and has appeared on Netflix and Bravo. Official Selection at 2014 DOC NYC, 2014 Woodstock Fi
