Second Nature

The Department of Digital Arts and Film/Video are thrilled to screen SECOND NATURE a hilarious and heartening documentary about the diversity of gender and sexuality in the animal world. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Drew Denny and animator Caitlin Craggs, Professor of 2D Animation in DDA.

Narrated by Elliot Page, Second Nature follows trailblazing Evolutionary Biologist Dr. Joan Roughgarden 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, debunking myths that females are “inferior” and that being queer is “unnatural.”

SECOND NATURE — everything you didn’t learn in high school biology.
