Future People is a feature length documentary that was directed and produced by filmmaker and artist, Michael Angelo. The movie is a deeply personal exploration of the rapidly expanding world of alternative conception, which is becoming increasingly common as fertility treatments become more advanced and accessible.
The movie follows the lives and stories of a diverse group of people who all share an unusual bond - they were all conceived using sperm from the same anonymous donor. This group of half-siblings, who have never met each other before, begin to connect via social media and eventually come together to form a family of their own.
As the group grows larger and relationships begin to develop, the movie explores the complexities of identity, family, and genetics. Each of the half-siblings has their own unique story and set of circumstances that led them to want to seek out their biological connections.
Future People features an intimate look into the lives of these young adults as they navigate the challenges and joys of forging meaningful relationships with each other. It raises important questions about the ethics of anonymous sperm donation and challenges traditional notions of what it means to be a family.
Through poignant interviews and intimate footage, Future People offers a thought-provoking and heartfelt exploration of the new frontiers of modern family, and the joys and struggles that come with it.
