Free short movie with Ankur Vikal (Slumdog Millionaire) and Tessa Thompson (Creed). Young couple tackle the moral complications of international surrogacy.
The story follows New Yorkers RJ and Rosemary, who have been trying to have a baby for the past eight years. Surrogacy is their last chance to have the family they want. But once they arrive in Mumbai and begin the embryo transplant, things go awry. The pressure in the last 24 hours leading up to the transplant brings up surprising revelations about each other. They are vulnerable as they face one of the most important experiences of their lives. Beautiful and well-crafted new short film, Points of Origin, by filmmaker Anya Leta that explores the tensions of commercial surrogacy in India. While R.J. is a native of India, he now lives in the United States and is married to an American. After experiencing difficulties conceiving on their own, they return to R.J.’s homeland in hopes of finally having a child of their own.
