Transgender star Elliot Page, formerly known as actress Ellen Page, is providing the narration for a new documentary called Second Nature exploring gay and transgender animals. This documentary marks the second nature-themed LGBT project to be released within the past year.
The documentary features a lineup of scientists who are exclusively “female, BIPOC, queer, and immigrant,” according to its official website. Notably, it includes Dr. Joan Roughgarden, a transgender ecologist and evolutionary biologist.

Currently, the documentary does not have a distributor. However, there will be an advance screening on June 23 in San Francisco during the Frameline Film Festival, the oldest gay film festival in the world.
Elliot Page’s production company is among the producers, alongside Megan Ellison’s Annapurna and the Sundance Institute.
Recently, NBCUniversal’s Peacock launched a documentary series titled Queer Planet, which explores similar topics, focusing on gay and transgender behaviors in the animal kingdom.
Queer Planet is set to premiere on June 6 on Peacock, aligning with Pride Month.
