Do YOU Really Know Who You Are?

Imagine signing up at a personal genomics site like 23Andme or Ancestry, curious about your health genes - or your distant past. Instead, you learn a terrible family secret that was kept from you - that you were the result of a sperm donor.

In THE DONOR: A DNA HORROR STORY, you'll meet people who learned as adults and young adults that they weren't who they thought they were. For some, it was beyond devastating. But, others made it their purpose to find their bio-dads. In the process, most happily discovered they had half-siblings they didn't know about. These powerful relationships play a significant role in our story.
