Some think an in vitro fertilization contest sounds crazy, but countless Americans desperate to start a family believe this social media experiment is their only hope. Vegas Baby is a profile of patients of a Las Vegas fertility clinic. Each year, the clinic hosts a YouTube-based competition called “I Believe,” which gives one lucky couple a shot at an in vitro fertilization treatment they could not otherwise afford. Hundreds of couples apply, yet there can be only one winner.

moniquemccray-97953 While I am much earlier in my journey then the women featured in this documentary this movie hits home. It captures the emotions of infertility in a way I didn't think was possible . I highly recommend that anyone who knows someone going through infertility or if you are experiencing infertility yourself you watch this film.

lmcjannet Vegas Baby is a fascinating and compassionate account of two couples and a single lesbian and their struggles to start a family. It is also a provocative exploration of an extreme corner of American health care that raises ethical and moral questions for the viewer. The filmmaker gains her subjects' trust and therefore has incredibly intimate access to their journeys, showing them confronting emotional and economic adversity without sentimentalizing their courage or overlooking their (often wry) self-awareness and sense of humor. This delicate balance is in evidence throughout Vegas Baby, which is also a beautifully crafted film. The image of the Pyramid in Las Vegas, with its connotations of the longing for immortality, hovers over the subjects' stories, which are as diverse as they could possibly be. You don't have to be interested in or suffering from infertility to engage with this compelling film and its universal themes.

bnyc This is a moving, important documentary that follows the stories of a diverse group of couples and individuals as they struggle with infertility. Equal parts informative and emotional, this film is one that resonates with audiences regardless of their own experiences with pregnancy, infertility, parenthood, etc.

valerielandis Great film with real people, real clinic, real doctors, and nurses and people in the reproductive industry telling the heartbreaking story of several couples journey to parenthood.Education is key and learning about infertility is only half the battle. I recommend this film to see the REAL life examples of what thousands of Americans face if they struggle to conceive. Let's hope no one has to face these issues in the near future, lets fight to get fair coverage for a disability (infertility) that affects 1 in 6 couples and is only getting worse with our prolonging of starting our families later in life.
