What Babies Want (58 mins)
An Exploration of the Consciousness of Infants. Narrated by Noah Wyle and directed by Debby Takikawa, What Babies Want is an award winning documentary film that explores the profoundly important and sacred opportunity we have in bringing children into the world.
Filled with captivating stories and infused with Noah Wyle's warmth as narrator, the film demonstrates how life patterns are established at birth and before. The documentary includes groundbreaking information on early development as well as appearances by the real experts: babies and families.
Research is now showing us that our society is a product of how we welcome and raise our children. When babies are welcomed with love and warmth and given the immediate opportunity to bond with parents, they develop minds that are coherent and flexible, ready in turn to make compassionate and meaningful connections with others as they grow.
As we learn how early relationships shape the structure and function of the brain, we are also gaining a new appreciation of the wisdom of ancient cultures that understood the importance of welcoming children before, during and after the moment of birth.
Narrated by Noah Wyle, What Babies Want explores these ideas, documenting heart warming personal experiences before, during and after childbirth as well as evidence of consciousness, communication and awareness in prenatal, newborn and very young infants.
Interviews with leading experts in the field of pre and perinatal psychology are shown throughout, including Joseph Chilton Pearce, Sobonfu Somé, Wendy Anne McCarty, Mary Jackson and Ray Castellino.

The Psychology of Birth; Invitation To Intimacy (53 mins - PAL Digibeta)
A film by Elmer Postle, Co-originated and Produced with Debby Takikawa, Narrated by Binnie A. Dansby.
‘An arrival of divine proportions, or a journey through the gates of hell; to engage in the birth process is to embrace the greatest beauty whilst risking our greatest fears.’
This film is about how an acknowledgment of the 'psychological presence' of the infant in the time prior to, during and after birth, the most sensitive and impressionable times of our lives, can lead us into finding out more about ourselves and becoming more present for our children.
It follows the story of a woman who lost her mother at birth as she connects her inability to form functioning relationships with the fact her loss was never acknowledged. A boy of one year shows in family therapy how his 'C' section birth leads him to bash his head as part of a story which has until now been seen as 'irrelevant silliness'. A single, first time mother in Los Angeles gives birth into a supportive environment. We see how the journey to birth can imprint messages about ourselves and the world which may last a lifetime.
Leading experts, Doctors and PhD's at the top of their field of Birth Psychology share their insights about this pivotal developmental period in an original and moving story. Contributors include: Joseph Chilton Pearce, Marti Glenn PhD, Raymond Castellino, Barbara Findeisen PhD, David Chamberlain PhD and from the Dagara people of West Africa, Sobonfu Somé.
