For Ricki Lake, working on the documentary The Business of Being Born was a labor of love.
“I worked on this project for three-and-a-half years. My son who is born in the movie is now 10,” she tells PEOPLE.
“It’s a lot of time, a lot of effort, and just hope that the public would care about the issue.”
Released on DVD in 2008, The Business of Being Born follows Lake and director Abby Epstein, whose pregnancy is also depicted in the film, as they investigate birthing practices in the U.S., from hospital care to midwifery and home births.
“The message is really about choices and exploring birth options,” Lake, 42, says. “I want a woman to be able to give birth in the way in which she chooses.”
