International Films

Following is a list I have compiled of films from around the world that somehow depict or discuss breastfeeding. Films I have not seen yet are in orange, so again there is no guarantee that they belong on this list. Those in italics depict nursing animals, not humans. Underlined titles are linked to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB):
