Elliot Page is back with a documentary that could completely reframe what we’re told is “natural” 🐧🌈
In Second Nature, which Page narrates and co-produces, scientists explore more than 1,500 animal species that display same-s*x behaviour, change s*x, raise young in Q***r pairings and organise themselves outside rigid male-female hierarchies.
Penguins. Albatrosses. Clownfish. Bonobos.
Turns out, the natural world never signed up to “biological reality” as it’s often weaponised.
Page put it bluntly this week: “This idea that nature is organized around a cis heteronormative system is just completely false.”
He also spoke about growing up feeling isolated as a Q***r kid: “You feel like you are alone… you feel excluded, you feel like something’s wrong with you.”
Which is exactly why this film exists.
Because if one Q***r kid watches it and realises they’re not the anomaly, the story we’ve been told about nature starts to fall apart.
📆 Theatrical release: LA, 24 May. New York, 26 June.
🎬 Premiering at NewFest on 18 October.
