Sperm world (2024) This is a documentary about men who donate sperm outside the medical field. It’s an interesting watch, tho I think it’s re-enacted by the actual people.
I’m wondering if anyone has more info on this documentary. I looked around and it was reviewed, but not even the New York Times mentions the sus way many multiple cameras just happened to be there and perfectly framed for pivotal points of the film. I don’t buy it.
