Trailer For Netflix's Messed Up Documentary OUR FATHER about a Deranged Fertility Doctor
There are some deranged and evil people in this world and one of them is the subject of this new Netflix documentary Our Father. The doc focuses on a fertility doctor named Donald Cline, who betrayed his patients’ trust and kept a shameful dark secret from them. That secret is he was using his own sperm for artificial insemination purposes and he ended up fathering dozens of children.
The doc also tells the story of those that Cline fathered. This is an incredibly shocking and sad story. I mean, think about it. What if one day you decide to take an ancestry DNA test only to find out that the person who raised you wasn’t your biological father. Then on top of that, you learn that you have half-sibling matches all over the city you live in. That would be scary as hell.
Here's the official synopsis for the documentary:
Jacoba Ballard was an only child, conceived via donor sperm, who always dreamed of having a brother or sister. An at-home DNA test led her to the discovery of not one but seven half-siblings – a number that defied best practices in fertility medicine. As the group set out to learn more about their curious family tree, they soon discovered the sickening truth: Their parents' fertility doctor had been inseminating his patients with his own sperm – without their knowledge or consent. As Ballard and her newfound siblings realized they've barely begun to untangle his dark web of deceit, their pursuit of justice lies at the heart of this profoundly unsettling story about an unimaginable breach of trust.
Our Father debuts on Netflix on May 11, 2022.
