‘Our Father’ Documentary Trailer: WATCH - Netflix Tudum
Jacoba Ballard was conceived through a sperm donor using artificial insemination. Growing up as an only child, she dreamed of having siblings. After using an at-home DNA test, Ballard discovered that she had not one but seven half-siblings. Unfortunately, this isn’t a story about one happy family reunion. As the group of siblings set out to learn more about their curious family tree, they uncovered a sickening truth: Their parents’ fertility doctor had been inseminating his patients with his own sperm — without their consent.
This new documentary follows Ballard and her newfound siblings’ mission to untangle this web of deceit. In a small Indiana town, this former fertility doctor was praised for helping parents start families of their own. How did he get away with this sinister act for so long? Our Father follows the siblings’ pursuit of justice in this unsettling story about an unimaginable breach of trust. Watch the documentary on May 11.
