Documentary

Can a woman fully achieve self-realization while at the same time giving of herself as a mother? Filmed during an actual pregnancy, and based on a journal that the director kept during one of her own pregnancies, this documentary shows the body of a pregnant woman and reveals her emotions and worries. It gives an enlightening glimpse into what goes on inside of a woman at each stage of this major life event. The film then follows up with a report on state-run daycare centres in Czechoslovakia, seeking solutions that might help a woman to be wife, mother and individual all at once. This was the first feature-length film about women in Québec; it was released in 1967, as the feminist movement was just beginning to rise.
