BRIGITTE, PLANETA B

Brigitte Baptiste, a renowned biologist with a degree in environmental sciences, asks a fundamental question: what is “natural”? This marks the beginning of a fascinating journey into queer ecology. Following in Brigitte’s footsteps, with the help of archival images and digital animations, the camera follows her life journey as a trans woman and her research in the Colombian forest. Discovering transgender plant and animal species and queer indigenous communities, she demonstrates how the queerness of flora and fauna has been deliberately ignored or even suppressed. She advocates an integrated approach to nature and society.

A pioneering figure who has transcended scientific and social conventions to take a revolutionary look at the planet, inspiring change.
