Some think an in vitro fertilization contest sounds crazy, but countless Americans desperate to start a family believe this social media experiment is their only hope. Vegas Baby is a profile of patients of a Las Vegas fertility clinic. Each year, the clinic hosts a YouTube-based competition called “I Believe,” which gives one lucky couple a shot at an in vitro fertilization treatment they could not otherwise afford. Hundreds of couples apply, yet there can be only one winner.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This is a very delicate and touchy topic, and I would like to apologize in advance to anyone who will feel offended by my review. In one review some said: "Education is key and learning about infertility is only half the battle." and I subscribe 100% to that statement. But, education should be first, not after the problem arrived; so we have to ask ourself a few questions. Why infertility is affecting so many people now? Why our parents and grandparents where not affected? Why is this a predominant issue in North America, and why is so expensive here, compare with let say EU? Historically, 3000 years ago the average life span was somewhere around 30 years, by 1850 that rouse to 45, today is between 73 and 83 in G20 countries. Unfortunately, our body genetics didn't kept the ratio. If you look into when your parents and grandparents got their bundle of joy, you'll see that they where much younger that today generation; also you'll notice that they were MORE active and their diet was MORE healthier (no growth hormones , no antibiotics in their food stuff, and this a hole new story). In Vegas Baby, we see people in their 30+ and 40+, some with a BMI (Body mass index) no so ideal, a doctor who think medicine is a business, and some of his prices that define common sense, taking advantage of people suffering. And in true american tradition they are doing a contest for free IVF. Shame.

While I am much earlier in my journey then the women featured in this documentary this movie hits home.  It captures the emotions of infertility in a way I didn't think  was possible .  I highly recommend that anyone who knows someone going through infertility or if you are experiencing  infertility yourself you watch this film.

Vegas Baby was a great documentary about infertility and real life struggles encountered as a result. Infertility is rarely talked about even though so many people struggle with it. This documentary showed the emotional and financial aspects of infertility. Additionally it showed a glimpse into the loss of a child, the impact it has on relationships and the exclusion from society felt when innocent baby/pregnancy conversations arise. The main individuals in the documentary were easy to relate to, sincere and as I watched I wanted so bad for them all to get pregnant. Also this documentary gives great insight into how the doctors and nurses feel with each patient.HIGHLY RECOMMEND this documentary to everyone. Awareness is needed because there are so many people dealing with loss, infertility and all the pain that comes along with it.

Vegas Baby is definitely a great film! As someone who has struggled with infertility for seven years and just recently went through IVF herself, I truly appreciated this documentary in more ways than one. It sheds so much light on the struggles people go through to complete their family. This film is definitely eye opening to those that have never traveled the road of infertility and is emotional for those of us who have. It's a must watch!
