Synopsis

 

An examination of choice, created in collaboration with egg donors, sperm donors, surrogates, people seeking surrogates, disabled women, nontraditional families & others.

 

A disabled woman fights to adopt an abandoned baby, while a middle-class couple struggles to conceive. As they wade through the clashing advice of friends, strangers, social workers, and fertility doctors, they discover that having a baby in Los Angeles can be a daunting task. Will they get the families they dream of—and at what cost?

 

Created in collaboration with disabled women, teen and surrogate mothers, sperm and egg donors, and non-traditional families, Someday breaks the cycle of polarized abortion debates and asks, “Who can afford to have—or not have—children, and who can’t?”

 

Community partners include: Feminist Majority Foundation, National Organization for Women (Hollywood Chapter), South Asian Network, Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, and Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project
