Carey is featured in the film These Are My Hours, a new documentary about homebirth. In this powerful, artful film you can see the relationship between a birthing mother, Emily, and her midwife (Carey) in action. The film shows their trust in one another and in birth while shining a big huge spotlight on what birth can be like when it isn’t fussed with; full of challenge, doubt, determination, and utterly boundless joy. Witness Emily stepping into motherhood for the 4th time (but for the first time, as always). These Are My Hours is completely focused on Emily’s experience – mother-centric – and is free from commentary from experts or “talking heads”. There is no interruption in the emotionality of birth, and the camera is never more than five feet from Emily’s body. This is as close to being present at a birth as you can get without actually attending one.

This movie has the power to change our culture’s view of birth.

When someone has a baby, we want the people in their life to have a deep respect for the work they’ve done and the wisdom they hold.
