Seems like it’s pretty much every month that a completely outrageous documentary series makes its way onto Netflix, but this new one ‘Our Father’ genuinely looks like one of the most disgusting and horrific yet, tackling a subject that I doubt many of us would have heard about.

The film investigates Dr Donald Cline, a well respected ex fertility doctor who managed to father over 50 different children by inseminating that amount of women with his own sperm without ever informing them. The story takes place in Indianapolis and begins in the 1970s – a time when Cline must have thought that his crimes would never be uncovered as DNA testing was yet to be invented.
Later though, when people start buying DNA tests for each other for their birthdays and other celebrations, the shit really hit the fan for the guy. Take a look at the trailer below:
Jesus, there’s a lot going on there isn’t there? From the idea that Cline was doing this to build some kind of Aryan master race in Indiana, to the lawyer saying that legally he wasn’t committing any crime, to the idea that some of his children might have dated each other, it feels like this really is going to be one of the most uncomfortable documentaries that Netflix has ever released.
Of course, that probably means it’s also going to be one of its most successful as well. I’ll be tuning in.
