(So if Nemo’s mom had died in real life, his dad could have become his mum!) Did you know that albatross, penguins and swans parent in same sex pairs?

Narrated by <b>Elliot Page</b>, <i>Second Nature</i> follows trailblazing Evolutionary Biologist <b>Dr. Joan Roughgarden </b>as she meets groundbreaking scientists exploring the 1500+ animal species who engage in same-sex sexual behavior and parenting, change sex, form matriarchies, and more — everything you didn’t learn in high school biology.<br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Screening as part of Glasgow Youth Film Festival 2026.
