Bio-Dad




Watch Bio-Dad on CBC.ca


When Barry Stevens sets out to find the sperm donor who brought him into this world, various related issues are brought into focus; eugenics, profit, and what makes a family a family. When does one cross the line between wanting the best for themselves and the people they share their life with, and biological immorality?

Stevens discovers the legacy of a fertile Jewish refugee, and a clinic for women who could not have children by traditional means. He comes upon some amazing characters who help bring light to the many issues involved, and members of his own family who he did not know existed. When Stevens gathers a crowd of similarly confused, and possibly related people to join him on his hunt, the truth begins to take shape as his family tree starts to do the same.
