What We Do For Family

Synopsis

Alex and Sam want a baby, which is tricky when you’re both cisgender women. Fortunately, Leslie is willing to help out. 

On the quest to become a sperm donor for his beloved friends, Leslie explores the process and lengths to which queer people must go to create a nuclear family. The baby-to-be is the embodiment of the chosen family, created deliberately and with such love, within the irregular shape of a chosen family.

At the heart of this film is love. The love we sometimes wish was present in our childhood, the love we give to our children, and the love we finally find in our chosen families.
