Maybe Baby is an intimate, provocative documentary that takes a new look at the journeys of single women in their '30s and '40s as they pursue pregnancy through Assisted Reproductive Technology, a multi-billion dollar industry on the cutting edge of medicine and science.
This film provides an intimate window into the lives of women as they navigate an incredibly complex arena of fertility clinics, while getting pregnant, miscarrying, and having babies alone. Against a backdrop of ticking biological clocks, this riveting 60-minute film illuminates basic human questions of life, love, fertility, and the meaning of motherhood today.

"A beautiful film. Poignant, moving and important."
Debora L. Spar, President,

Author of "The Baby Business,"
"A frank and intimate exploration."
Amanda Pope, Assoc. Professor
University of Southern California, School of Cinematic Arts
"Shannon O'Rourke's Maybe Baby is extremely engaging, intimate and ultimately highly educational. O'Rourke invites us to experience first-hand the very real issues and dilemmas of single women trying to conceive, and the effect is powerful, going beyond emotionally satisfying portraiture to deliver sharp insight regarding contemporary American values and notions of family. MAYBE BABY also demonstrates the power of immersive documentary filmmaking, as O'Rourke was clearly closely involved in the lives portrayed on screen, relationships which viewers, students, and advocates for these issues will benefit."
Annie J. Howell, Asst.t Professor. Media Studies and Film
The New School
"Anyone actually considering in-vitro, let alone just interested in the human dimension of reproductive science, should see this film."

Wireless Users:
To bring as much quality to your streamed video as possible, each film is streamed at the highest practical bitrate, balancing speed with quality.
Generally speaking, wireless connections are a smaller connection (maximum of 54bps), and may sometimes result in "choppy" viewing of the film when bandwidth or connection strength is reduced. If you are on a slower connection of any kind, we recommend that you select a lower bitrate to stream your film.
