We told you a few months ago that the Spanish version of the “One Born every minute” program was being launched, and we already have more data about this series of docu-realities. "Baby boom" is the name chosen for the birth program in which more than 30 robotic cameras collect births in the Madrid maternity O'Donell.
The format already has 11 births captured by cameras strategically located in different hospital locations. The cameras are usually aimed at the wall and are only activated when "people come into action" people who have given their consent to be recorded, women who expect a baby.
The peculiar “platós” are the waiting room, two delivery rooms, the nursing control, the waiting room, the operating room and the corridors. The area of neonatology would be an exception to robotic fixed cameras: as these would cause interference, an operator records camera in hand.
As I have commented on occasion, I would not like my birth to be recorded, and less for a television show. Even when the “editors”, who follow the mothers and accompany them, are dressed in green like the rest of the hospital staff.
However, as we see there are women willing to do so, otherwise we would not have a program, and they do not do it for money, since the producers do not pay the protagonists or the health personnel that appears on the screen. The only thing they give to mothers is a video of childbirth.
“Baby boom”, the La Sexta birth-based documentary reality program, will consist of eight programs of 60 minutes each, with about three or four deliveries per broadcast. Will it have the same success as its versions in other countries? I believe that the miracle of life "live" is always exciting ...
