This video, created by the doula credential organization DONA International, explains what a doula is and how having a doula can benefit you. Every birthing family can benefit from a doula, no matter what kind of birth they are planning. It includes interviews with researchers who did some of the original studies on continuous labor support. Although I am certifying with Childbirth International, I think DONA did a great job with this 15 minute documentary and it describes the role of the doula very well.

Doula! The Ultimate Birth Companion: Film Trailer
Below is the trailer for the 65 minute documentary, Doula! The Ultimate Birth Companion, which was launched in London on June 7, 2010. It looks really good.
The film's director/producer, Toni Harman, is hoping to get the word out about this film so that the more people who learn about doulas, the more people will hire one and have a better birth experience. If you would like to see this film, you can purchase it on Amazon, or you can visit the film's website to learn about hosting a public screening.
