Animal Pride

Synopsis

Queer naturalist Connel Bradwell challenges mainstream biology’s blind spot regarding queer animal behavior in nature. After observing same-sex behaviour in orcas, Connel embarks on a journey to unveil the diverse expressions of gender and animal behaviour in nature. “Animal Pride” challenges conventional wildlife assumptions, celebrates diversity, 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. There’s no longer any doubt: Nature’s queer as f***.
