ABOUT
THE FILM
While exposing
private pain online to win a contest is a brutal proposition, IVF is rarely
covered by insurance, so many infertile couples consider this a gamble worth
taking. Within the exploding world of reproductive medicine, the US
is the most expensive and least regulated country in the world. VEGAS BABY navigates the complexities of America's burgeoning
fertility industry and paints an intimate portrait of the diverse individuals – from a devoutly Catholic Latino couple in Texas to a lesbian
Lady Gaga Impersonator in New York – determined to have a
baby against all odds.
Despite the fact that
1 in 6 couples worldwide struggle with infertility, for fear of judgment or
heartache or both, would-be parents tend to keep their infertility stories
secret. VEGAS BABY breaks the silence around this often misunderstood medical
and social issue, and through her intimate lens, Micheli explores universal
themes of desire and loss.
