Haunting
I applaud the work of Geyrhalter Films for bringing this provocative and timely piece into existence. They found people from all angles who have been involved in surrogacy and reproductive technologies and just let them speak for themselves. There is no patronizing interjection of the filmmakers’ pre-suppositions or opinions. They turned the camera on and allowed people to talk about what they thought was important or what they were excited about. But its not just talking heads, they got incredible access to fertility clinics and were even present for the cesarean section of a Mexican surrogate and the first few moments of a child’s life who was born via surrogacy. And the results are haunting. These are images I will never forget in my life.

I am profoundly concerned for those that think these practices are acceptable.

Timely and Sensitive, Blueprint for Taboo Documentary
More than five million humans born using in-vitro fertilization (IVF) are walking the earth, which suggests a tacit societal acceptance of using such medical technology to cure infertility. However, IVF is no longer the only reproductive technology out there, nor are its uses confined to curing infertility. With sperm and egg-cell banks, mitochondrial donations, surrogate mothers, improved genetic screening and rapid advances in DNA manipulation, what we understand by human reproduction is in flux.

A knee-jerk reaction to all this may be to either fully embrace or flatly reject this development, entrenched in some liberal or conservative ideology. Neither path is taken by Maria Arlamovsky, the author of the “Future Baby”. Guided by curiosity and deeply felt human empathy, she presents us with interviews with numerous scientists, entrepreneurs, couples, egg donors and surrogates from (quite literally) around the world. It allows us to form a nuanced picture of where the reproductive technology is going and what it means to its creators and users.

The result is nothing short of amazing. All technical aspects are described in plain language and the calm, confident editing ensures that even the most emotional parts feel natural and candid. Despite the breadth of topics covered, it never feels rushed or confusing. There is no “infotainment” style animations or voice-over narration, and no detectable ideological bias.

Highlights include a double interview with egg donors, each of whom has a dramatically different perspective on the consequences of their actions, the interview with the inventor of the Pill, Carl Djerassi, whose ideas are quite provoking, but consistent and a segment, which details the relationship between a surrogate and her clients.

During the screening I thought it was a bit odd that the film almost never comes back to the same interviewees. In retrospect, it seems like a conscious decision that allows the film to cover more ground and it does not feel like we are missing much depth. There were no interviews with sperm donors and only one with a grown-up IVF child, which I found odd as well. In the Q&A session after the screening, the author explained that it was very difficult to get access to the donors and she was also more interested in the female side of the problem. As for the IVF children, the author kept the footage for another film focusing specifically on them – I am thrilled to watch it, when it comes out.

All in all, I cannot recommend this film enough. Attending the Q&A with the author only solidified my opinion of her as a sensitive, humble and professional filmmaker and I would love to see her other works, which sadly do not seem to be available on DVD. “Future Baby” is a blueprint on how to deal with complex and potentially controversial subjects.
