Inconceivable: The Secret Business of Breeding Humans
This one-hour documentary is based on a journalist’s discovery at the age of 27 that the man who brought her up and loved her dearly was not her biological father. Her mother was impregnated with anonymous donor sperm. The intensely personal film is the story of award-winning investigative journalist Sarah Dingle and her fight to uncover the truth about who made her and how. At the same time, she uses her skills to investigate the secretive fertility industry, in her words - “a deeply unethical and pathologically secretive business that makes millions for its practitioners but has little concern for the human beings it creates.”
