Grok Nation

Producer and Emmy-winning talk show host Ricki Lake and director Abby Epstein are the filmmaking team behind the ground-breaking 2008 documentary, “The Business of Being Born.” The success of the film inspired their acclaimed book Your Best Birth, a comprehensive guide to childbirth. In 2011, they released a four-part follow up series called “More Business of Being Born,” featuring intimate interviews with Alanis Morissette, Cindy Crawford, Melissa Joan Hart, Laila Ali, Christy Turlington, Gisele Bundchen, Kimberly Williams Paisley and Molly Ringwald. Under their production BOBB Films, they served as Executive Producers on the recent documentaries “Breastmilk” and “The Mama Sherpas.” In addition to their upcoming feature documentary “Sweetening the Pill,” Lake and Epstein are currently in production on the film “Weed the People,” due out in 2017. All their films are available at thebusinessofbeingborn.com and you can read more about their upcoming projects by visiting rickiandabbyfilms.com.
