It's a QueerWest documentary double feature!
Animal Pride
After observing same-sex behaviour in orcas, naturalist Connel Bradwell embarks on a journey to unveil the diverse expressions of gender and animal behaviour in nature. Animal Pride challenges conventional wildlife assumptions and presents a riotous rebellion against stereotypes. Connel's irreverent approach takes a wrecking ball to the ivory tower of heteronormative science, demanding answers to why the world has been missing out on the wild, wonderful, and even sexy side of nature.
Love Birds
In 1972, married biologists George Hunt and Molly Warner make an unprecedented discovery while studying seagulls on one of California’s Channel Islands. To their surprise, a great number of the nesting pairs they observe are both female. George and Molly’s research on “lesbian seagulls” quickly triggers both outrage and jubilation in a nation grappling with the rise of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, even as it threatens to tear apart their own relationship.
