Filmmaker Ry Russo-Young’s very personal docuseries examines her childhood in the 1970s and ’80s, raised by two lesbian parents and conceived through a gay sperm donor. This unorthodox but happy family, including Ry’s sister Cade, was rocked when Ry’s biological dad, Tom Steel, sued the family for paternity and visitation rights, setting off a landmark lawsuit that would redefine the way gay families were perceived.
