SQIFF18 A Deal with The Universe

Documentary A Deal with the Universe is filmmaker Jason Barker's debut feature. Autobiographical and made entirely from personal archive and home video diaries, the film follows Jason's incredible story of how he came to give birth to his child, charting over 15 years of his and his partner's life. This film is groundbreaking in terms of its intimate insights into gender identity and new parenthood.

Jason Barker will join us after the screening to take part in a discussion. In partnership with Rainbow Families.
