How do the very first moments of life shape the future of human health?‘The Microbirth Plan’ is a groundbreaking, brand-new feature documentary about one of the most exciting frontiers in human health, the microbiome. This film reveals how the earliest moments of life lay the foundations for our immunity, metabolism, and even mental wellbeing, and how these microbial beginnings ripple out to affect the health of our entire species. Through breathtaking science and real human stories, the film shows how small choices and simple actions around birth can have an extraordinary impact, not just for individual families, but for the future of humanity. The Microbirth Plan is directed by Toni Harman and Alex Wakeford, the award-winning filmmaking team behind the 2014 documentary Microbirth.This screening is a rare opportunity to join a global grassroots movement to protect the health of future generations. The only way to see the film this year is by attending one of the Private Premiere screenings being hosted in communities around the world, ahead of a wider public release in 2026.This is a story of hope, empowerment, and the possibility of a healthier world, starting with the very first chapter of life.The film screening will be followed by a community discussion.
