Watch Our Father, the Netflix Documentary on Fertility Fraud which debuted in May 2022, prior to this program and join us to discuss the film and surrounding events with Jacoba Ballard who is featured in the film.

Jacoba Ballard grew up knowing that she was conceived with the assistance of a sperm donor. When as an adult Jacoba did DNA testing to learn more about her background she was shocked to find what seemed like an endless stream of half-siblings (there are now 96 and counting), the majority of whom live in a 25-mile radius of her, all born in the 70s and 80s. The common thread? Former fertility doctor Donald Cline who, it was discovered, used his own sperm to inseminate his patients without their knowledge or consent. This and fertility fraud cases in other states which have failed to see the doctors held accountable in the legal system have led to laws being passed to outlaw fertility fraud in eleven states so far, with Ohio being the most recent.

Our Father features interviews with victims, follows the siblings’ both as they learn about each other uncovering the truth about what their parents’ trusted doctor had done and as they seek justice, and explores possible motives.

Watch the film on Netflix and join us on February 13th.
