What's Safe, What's Gross, What's Selfish and What's Stupid

JOIN US IN THE PINK SCREENING ROOM for 'What's Safe, What's Gross, What’s Selfish and What’s Stupid', where the camera turns to Jasmine as they try to get pregnant, after conversations with friends, donors and elders, as they ask themselves what it is to try to reproduce. This is Jasmine Johnson's debut feature film and was co-parented into being, with members of Jasmine’s community contributing what they could, whether ideas, iPhone footage or sperm.

"It takes a village to raise a child, but if you’re queer, it also takes a village to understand the process of creating one. Through sensitive and vital conversations, many from the perspective of those conceived by sperm donors, Jasmine Johnson navigates relationships, sperm banks, multiple queer communities and the national health service itself, in an attempt to do family and reproduction differently." - Jay Bernard
