Despite it being illegal to prevent a woman breastfeeding in public, many women still experience prejudice, feel embarrassed, judged and are publicly humiliated being told to cover up, do it in a toilet or worse yet, leave. THIS SUCKS. To coincide with World Breastfeeding Week, Director and Father, Jon Lawton has made a short film - a proud image of a mother serenely feeding her child set against grotesque mouths scoffing food. A Father’s passionate reaction to the ugly truth of the ignorance society can show towards the most beautiful and natural type of feeding
“Have you seen people eating? It’s disgusting. All lips, sauce and gob. It’s like we go backwards in our ability to do the most simple human task. Babies feeding, by comparison, is the most elegant form of the act."
If one mother feels more confident breastfeeding in public because of the film - that's all I want.” Jon Lawton, Director.It raises the question… what's more disgusting? A dirty kebab or a woman doing the most natural thing in the world? The film is set to the post punk provocateur & feminist Peaches track, ‘Fuck the Pain Away’. The film shows the truth and demands a reassessment. Shining the spotlight on the insanity and stupidity of how such a pure act can cause such ridiculous offense to others.
