The Surrogate

Watch Trailer Watch at Home
“Without an ounce of preachiness or melodrama, THE SURROGATE asks tough questions — about prenatal testing, eugenics, reproductive rights, parenting and special-needs children — in a manner sometimes hard to watch but always compelling and grounded in a firm foundation of what feels like authentic experience. – David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

Jess Harris (Jasmine Batchelor, “The Good Fight”), a 29 year old web designer for a nonprofit in Brooklyn, is ecstatic to be the surrogate and egg-donor for her best friend Josh (Chris Perfetti, “Looking”) and his husband Aaron (Sullivan Jones, Slave Play). Twelve weeks into the pregnancy, a prenatal test comes back with unexpected results that pose a moral dilemma. As they all consider the best course of action, the relationship between the three friends is put to the test.
