Advances in medicine have come a long way in the last 50 years. For example, professionals can now help people hoping to become pregnant through medical processes — procedures that were entirely new four decades ago. Although doctors in this field have been there to safely guide their patients, there was one in particular who had a much more sinister plan in mind, Dr. Donald Cline, a leading fertility doctor with a sick secret: he used his own sperm. Now, their “children” are coming together to do justice.
Netflix's next documentary, Our Father, will reveal this man, along with the pain and damage he left in his wake. This Netflix and Blumhouse production promises to publicize the countless barbarities that Cline committed against innocent families.
What does the trailer reveal?
The trailer already available on the platform reveals the story of how this scandal began to develop. It all started with a DNA test, something that many of us have undergone in recent years to learn more about our heritage. Unfortunately, for these Ancestry.com users, their journey on the website would take a disastrous turn. Listening to the “brothers” themselves, the horror of what Dr. Cline did to them soon becomes clear.
The Netflix production will bring to light that the doctor changed his sperm for that of the intended father, begetting an unknown number of children, many of them still do not know the truth about their parentage. Even more alarming is that the doctor continues to be a prominent member of his community. A business owner and elder of his church, his grip on the cities surrounding Indianapolis remains firm; but that will not set aside those he has harmed, as they intend to bear witness to Dr. Cline's disgusting actions.
The report follows the mission of Ballard and his new brothers to unravel this web of deception. In a small town in Indiana, this former fertility doctor was praised for helping parents start their own families. How could he get away with it for so long? Our Father follows the brothers' search for justice in this disturbing story about an unimaginable breach of trust.
Led by Lucie Jourdan, Our Father will make your blood boil at what our society allows certain members. Take a look, take a deep breath, draw your own conclusions and wait for it. The documentary will allow Dr. Cline's victims to share their stories and, hopefully, hold him accountable.
