0Y1 | No Baby on Board, a Documentary Feature Film by Julia Kots '01

One woman’s humorous partially-animated journey to donate her eggs explores the reasons behind rising childlessness.

When filmmaker Julia Kots decides not to have kids, she embarks on the ultimate spring cleaning—donating her previously-frozen eggs—and documents the stories of other women who don’t have children. Blending their raw confessions with her own egg-sistential journey, this partially-animated documentary candidly examines why more women are opting out of motherhood. From financial strain to climate anxiety, from family trauma to lack of a partner, the film confronts taboos as it exposes the complex, heartbreaking, and sometimes hilarious truths behind declining birthrates.
