Spermworld — official trailer

What is Spermworld about?

Three men enter the new wild west of baby making, online forums where sperm donors connect with hopeful parents, but find themselves exchanging more than just genetic material.

Spermworld is an American documentary film directed by Lance Oppenheim that premiered on Hulu and FX in the United States on March 29, 2024. Spermworld follows the stories of three sperm donors and their recipients. Inspired by Nellie Bowles' article "The Sperm Kings Have a Problem: Too Much Demand" for the New York Times, the documentary ventures into "spermworld", the unregulated online marketplaces where sperm donors connect with hopeful parents.
