The story of a group of women in Poland, where the fertility rate is one of the lowest in the world, who are taking control and becoming mothers to fake babies.

In Poland, where the fertility rate is one of the lowest in the world, a group of women are taking control and becoming mothers to fake babies.

Reborn dolls are hyper-realistic, treated like real children, given a birthing ceremony and even a heartbeat. Yet they serve a deeper purpose, helping women through infertility and loss of a child, and hitting reset on the gender imbalance that often goes hand in hand with motherhood. Mothers Reborn takes a look at the misunderstood world of reborn dolls.
