FILM: Brigitte Planet B

Brigitte Planet B is a documentary about the life and career of the ecological icon, transgender Brigitte Baptiste.

Brigitte Planet B is a documentary about the life and career of the ecological icon, transgender Brigitte Baptiste, whose groundbreaking research and alternative discourse have challenged scientific and social conventions for years—breaking down prejudices, building bridges, and inspiring change.

The film follows Brigitte as she demonstrates how queerness in plants and animal species has long been ignored, suppressed, and dismissed to reflect society’s underlying bias against gender identity.

It takes us on a journey where we learn about transgender species, queer Indigenous communities, ancient cave paintings, and even the mental experiences of Ayahuasca in the Amazon rainforest—insights that have inspired many of Brigitte’s ideas on Queer Ecology as a way to confront different experiences and explore new approaches to caring for the planet.
