In 2021, Lance Oppenheim won the Jury Prize for Best International Documentary at DOCVILLE with Some Kind of Heaven, a refreshing, tragicomic look at senior villages in Florida. In Spermworld, he takes you on a roadmovie through the wild west of the unregulated baby industry: online forums where sperm donors connect with hopeful parents and meetings in motels, abandoned malls or bathrooms. Strange, absurd yet intimate encounters between sperm donors and recipients, who exchange more than just genetic materials.
