Why watch this film?
Did you know it's forbidden to be born in Fernando de Noronha? As strange as it may seem, pregnant women can't give birth on the island and it creates a real commotion in the region. After all, mothers need to leave the island at 7 months of pregnancy so that their baby won't be born there. Although there is a curious side to it, there is also an emotional complicated issue involved. After all, traditional families there obviously want the baby to be born together with their relatives and friends. At home. And it is about this issue that the documentary 'Forbidden to be Born in Paradise', by filmmaker Joana Nin ('Cativas'), focuses on, showing the effects of this absurd legislation in the lives of mothers and fathers. Even if it is too rigid and has an interesting information that only appears at the end of the movie, it is interesting to know this particularity of Brazil and reflect: is it fair?
