Okay, so It's not a movie, it's a documentary. I've tried the IMDB with no success.
This documentary followed several women as they gave birth in different parts of the world. There was a woman each from Japan, South Africa, Russia, and Afghanistan. The idea was to compare (Japan is definately the coolest place to give birth). Since Afghanistan appeared to be pre-Taliban, I'd guess the film was made sometime after 1990, but before 2000. It was in English. I don't know what channel it was on, but I saw it in the last 3 years. Any ideas?
