EndedDocumentary show

The compelling new one-hour docu-series Generation Cryo explores the issues faced by a new generation of kids coming of age who were conceived via anonymous sperm donors and are redefining what it means to be a family. Generation Cryo will document the journey of 17-year-old Breeanna who recently logged onto the Donor Sibling Registry, a website dedicated to connecting sperm donor families, and learned that she has at least 15 half-siblings all fathered by the same anonymous donor, #1096. Armed with this newly obtained information, Bree sets out to meet all of her half-brothers and sisters and encourages them to help her find out more about their donor. Along the way, what starts off as a meeting of strangers becomes an intense and emotional bonding of family.
