The Garden Room

Afternoons

There's a very special room at Christchurch Women's Hospital, a lot of people aren't aware that it even exists. It's called the Garden Room and it's where Mum's go to give birth to their babies that have died. Between four and five hundred stillborns occur each year in New Zealand. but it's not something that's often talked about. In an effort to change that Christchurch filmmaker Kirsty Cameron was given permission to film a family going though their stillbirth journey. Her documentary The Garden Room premieres in Christchurch next week.
