'Would you get pregnant for someone else and then agree to give the baby away?' The Surrogates narrator Anna Krippa asked the audience. This loaded question sets up the three-part series following five families formed through surrogacy.
The Surrogates is a BBC Three documentary that follows surrogates and intended parents through their journeys into the world of surrogacy. Within the three episodes, we're taken through the stories of five families formed through surrogacy, from the surrogates' and intended parents' perspective.
Caitlin is a first-time gestational surrogate and we follow her journey, as she gestates for her manager, Kate. Kate jokes to Caitlin about how she shouldn't feel she has 'to rent out [her] womb' to talk about her children in the office, demonstrating how the pre-existing power dynamic could play a role in their current arrangement. We're constantly reminded of the relationship between Caitlin and Kate, as if to highlight a necessary imbalance. As the surrogacy proceeds, we're privy to the tension surrogacy places on Caitlin's relationship, until it reaches breaking point.
