Chicken & Egg Pictures and Working Films present the next installment of  the monthly screening and audience engagement series Story Leads to Action at the 92Y Tribeca. Next  Thursday, February 18th at 7:30 PM there will be a fine cut screening and feedback discussion of Made in India, a new documentary directed by Rebecca Haimowitz and Vaishali Sinha. This feature documentary follows the journey of an infertile American couple, an Indian surrogate and the reproductive outsourcing business that brings them together.  Against the backdrop of an ever-growing international assisted reproductive technology industry we get a respectful up-close look at the phenomena of "outsourcing" surrogate mothers to India, a complicated clash of families, reproductive technology and "choice" from a global perspective.  Come share in the discussion on how to balance the needs of a character driven film with the needs of a global campaign about women's health, reproductive rights, the business of being born and fast-paced globalization led by Judith Helfand. We hope to see you there! More information and ticket purchase here.
