Our take
Named after the phenomenon of male seahorses who carry and give birth to their young, this intimate documentary tells the moving story of a trans man’s path to parenthood. Master documentarian Jeanie Finlay captures the arduous and ultimately courageous journey with a singular sense of compassion.
