Synopsis
"Our Father" (2022) is a Netflix documentary directed by Lucie Jourdan — stream it online on iFILM. Jacoba Ballard took a home DNA test expecting to find one or two half-siblings from the same sperm donor. What she found instead was more than fifty of them.
Every match led back to the same man: Dr. Donald Cline, a well-regarded fertility specialist in Indianapolis who had been secretly inseminating his patients with his own sperm for years — without their knowledge, without their consent. The film follows Jacoba and the siblings she finds as they piece together the full scope of what happened and push for legal accountability.
What makes the case all the more infuriating is how little the law could do: American legislation at the time barely covered this scenario, and Cline faced minimal consequences. For anyone who followed the story in the news, the documentary fills in what headlines missed. Watch "Our Father" (2022) online on iFILM.
