Info

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.

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
leedswood This is a wonderful documentary that shares what it's like to walk through the infertility journey. If you've struggled, or someone you love has, I highly recommend watching this short film.Unfortunately, there are so many misconceptions about what it takes to reproduce. I didn't realize how many there were, until I unexpectedly found myself facing this challenge. The movie shines a light on some of these. My favorite "character" was probably Athena's mother. She was a wise & caring lady and without being in amidst the struggle herself, seemed to truly "get it." There can be numerous ups and downs on this path, both physically and emotionally. Because of this, I thought it was incredibly brave of these men & women to share their struggles so openly in this format. At times, it honestly felt like looking in a mirror. I'm grateful, because it helped me to process my own emotions in different ways. Kudos to the director & team -
Benmo Ben This is a very delicate and touchy topic, and I would like to apologize in advance to anyone who will feel offended by my review. In one review some said: "Education is key and learning about infertility is only half the battle." and I subscribe 100% to that statement. But, education should be first, not after the problem arrived; so we have to ask ourself a few questions. Why infertility is affecting so many people now? Why our parents and grandparents where not affected? Why is this a predominant issue in North America, and why is so expensive here, compare with let say EU? Historically, 3000 years ago the average life span was somewhere around 30 years, by 1850 that rouse to 45, today is between 73 and 83 in G20 countries. Unfortunately, our body genetics didn't kept the ratio. If you look into when your parents and grandparents got their bundle of joy, you'll see that they where much younger that today generation; also you'll notice that they were MORE active and their diet was MORE healthier (no growth hormones , no antibiotics in their food stuff, and this a hole new story). In Vegas Baby, we see people in their 30+ and 40+, some with a BMI (Body mass index) no so ideal, a doctor who think medicine is a business, and some of his prices that define common sense, taking advantage of people suffering. And in true american tradition they are doing a contest for free IVF. Shame.
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.
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.
