Its 115 minutes feel overlong at times, but given the fact that most moviegoers' impressions of this period and place were formed by the 1992 Academy Award - winning fantasy Indochine, the visceral reality check provided by The Sea Wall is novel - and welcome...

Cheyney and doctoral student Courtney Everson examined one county's birth records from the entirety of that period and found that in that area at least, there was not any increased mortality risk associated with low-risk home births. In interviewing doctors for her study, however, she also learned a few very important things about why they remain so fixedly opposed to the midwifery option...
