Filmmaker Leslie Tai’s How To Have an American Baby is streaming on PBS through March 10, 2024. The POV documentary is an intimate look at the shadow economy that caters to Chinese parents who travel to the US to give birth for citizenship. We discuss the film, the commodification of American motherhood, the tragedies of infant morbidity, and what birth sounds like (in any language). Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of death and medical malpractice. Never miss an episode of The Amy Beecher Show. Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
