Man Made: The Story of Two Men and a Baby

About This Movie

So, 'Man Made' is this intriguing documentary that dives into the lives of Tony Wood and Lee Matthews, a couple navigating the murky waters of parenthood in Australia. It's not your average family story—it's raw, real, and reflective of the struggles they face, with legal barriers pushing them toward international surrogacy. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow, allowing you to really sit with their emotions. You get to see the hopes, the fears, and the outright challenges they confront, which gives the film a distinct weight. The atmosphere feels a bit heavy at times but also filled with a sense of determination. It’s interesting how it highlights societal norms and the lengths people will go for family.
