Miracle Of Life

A co-workers son is currently in training to become an EMT and just watched the child birth video and was impressed. What I remember most about this experience during my training was the film I viewed was retrieved from a 1950’s era fallout shelter. (I mean actual film) It was in black and white (not that color is needed) and was set in a fallout shelter with a lady going through an actual birth, as a narrator explained how to proceed with care. There were some lost lunches during the viewing. The original purpose of this film was for it to be stored in these shelters to instruct anyone who might find themselves in this situation. Why it had to be filmed in a shelter, god only knows, especially since I’m sure the film makers are all dead. Also how was the shooting schedule figured out, it’s not like you can predict when someone is going to go into labor. Were they just hanging around a shelter waiting? Of course the mother could then say to their child, I allowed your birth to be filmed and thousands of strangers are going to watch it during the next Armageddon.
