Understanding Myself as an Amphibian
This queer ecology documentary explores the sexual diversity of the wildlife around us.

This film includes a variety of animal and plant subjects, including same-sex bird parents raising chicks together, and a group of salamanders that's entirely female. It also examines the exclusionary attitudes in biology and conservation throughout time, and how these attitudes have influenced our understanding of animal behaviour.
