Two Men and Two Babies
Documentary > 2007 > 52 mins > Completed
A follow-up documentary that takes audiences back into the lives of Tony Wood and Lee Matthews, one of the first Australian gay male couples to take the controversial step of creating a new family through commercial surrogacy in the United States.
Man Made: The Story of Two Men and a Baby explored Tony and Lee's overwhelming desire to have a child, their decision to pursue commercial surrogacy, and their fraught journey to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to experience the birth of their son Alexander to a surrogate, Junoa.
It is five years since Alexander's birth, and Tony and Lee now have a second child, Lucinda through surrogacy. Same egg donor, same surrogate. The sequel will document the intervening years since Alexander's birth and provide a unique insight into the world of this alternative family.
