GAYBY BABY is a portrait of four kids Gus, Ebony, Matt and Graham whose parents all happen to be gay.
In this heartfelt doc, we get to know the four kids: Gus wants to be a WWE wrestler. Matt questions the teachings of his church. Graham struggles with living in ultra-conservative Fiji. Ebony dreams of stardom.
As they each wrestle with the challenges of oncoming adolescence, the outside world wrestles with the issue of marriage equality, and whether or not kids like them are at risk, but what we learn from these kids is that there's more than one way to make a family.
