It questions whether this shift has always served mothers and babies, or if it has, in some cases, distanced them from safer, more holistic care.At the heart of the film is the life and work of midwife and educator Kristine Lauria, whose approach offers a powerful alternative. Grounded in respect, physiology, and evidence-based care, her work challenges conventional models and reimagines what childbirth can look like when autonomy, trust, and continuity of care are prioritized.By waving together global insights with one woman's mission, the documentary invites audiences to reconsider how we bring life into the world, and what it would take to make birth safer, more human, and more empowering for all. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/c79f4f80-9cbb-11f1-80bb-ebfa6612c095-rimg-w555-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/casuarina/allowed-to-birth-darwin-documentary-screening/100001993982014883 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-09-24T07:15:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Charles Darwin University- Casuarina Campus - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 33.08, max: 33.08, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Casuarina - **state**: NT - **country**: Australia - **location**: Charles Darwin University- Casuarina Campus - **lat**: -12.3717335 - **long**: 130.8696747 - **full address**: Charles Darwin University- Casuarina Campus, Mal Nairn Auditorium, Casuarina, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Allowed to Birth- DARWIN documentary screening - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/dfa95418e805c2d0f2c4236d5d611711dfdcb36d331480036dfa3ba2757b609c-rimg-w1200-h675-dc788898-gmir.jpg?v=1786503215 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Allowed to Birth- DARWIN documentary screening being held? - **A:** Allowed to Birth- DARWIN documentary screening takes place on Thu, 24 Sep, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Thu, 24 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Charles Darwin University- Casuarina Campus, Mal Nairn Auditorium, Casuarina, Australia. - **Q**: Who is organizing Allowed to Birth- DARWIN documentary screening? - **A:** Allowed to Birth- DARWIN documentary screening is organized by Amanda and Eleanor of illumina films. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Allowed to Birth- DARWIN documentary screening", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/dfa95418e805c2d0f2c4236d5d611711dfdcb36d331480036dfa3ba2757b609c-rimg-w1200-h675-dc788898-gmir.jpg?v=1786503215", "startDate": "2026-09-24T17:30:00+10:00", "endDate": "2026-09-24T19:30:00+10:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/casuarina/allowed-to-birth-darwin-documentary-screening/100001993982014883", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Charles Darwin University- Casuarina Campus", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Mal Nairn Auditorium", "postalCode": "0810", "addressLocality": "Casuarina", "addressRegion": "NT", "addressCountry": "AU" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-12.3717335", "longitude": "130.8696747" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Across cultures and continents, birth has become shaped by systems of control and intervention.
