 First comes love, then comes marriage…then comes Susie with the baby carriage?
Not so for the millions of couples in North America who have chosen to remain childless; who have determined that when it comes to their family—two is enough.
Why are more and more couples opting out of parenthood?
Filmmaker Laura Scott, 43, married and childless by choice, embarks on a journey of discovery to explore the motivations and decision-making processes of those who are living or considering a “childfree” life. As she travels the U.S. and Canada to interview childfree couples, she hears stories of love, vasectomies, stigma, societal pressure, an international childfree social club, and documents the decision making of two undecided couples who are struggling to make the right choice for themselves. What she finds begs the question: “Is love enough to sustain a successful union or are couples instinctively or otherwise compelled or obligated to have kids?”
