A discussion about the themes after the film. The director of the film Karoliina Gröndahl, doula Oona Pajuluoma from Aktivien syntys ry, doula and maternity physiotherapist Janna Oinas and midwife Mira Laitinen are present. A warm welcome! The discussion is in Finnish.
The birth experience affects the whole life. Two Finnish birth experts, midwife Kirsi and doula (birth support person) Anna-Riitta, work to improve birth practices and empower birth givers. Observational yet strongly cinematic, The Labour of Pain and Joy explores the personal, social and mythic levels of birth.

We work continuously to make Ritz more accessible. There is a stair lift from the ground floor, where the toilet is available, to the café and auditorium on the second floor, and there is a induction loop for hearing aids in part of the auditorium. Even so it is a good idea to read up on accessibility before your visit.
