''Spermworld'' entwines the stories of three donors and their recipients as they exchange more than just genetic material. In roadside motels, abandoned malls, and suburban bathrooms, impersonal transactions between strangers give way to moments of tenderness, unease, and the possibility of new life. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytco.com/press/new-feature-documentary-spermworld-to-premiere-on-fx-march-29/|title=New Feature Documentary "SPERMWORLD," From The Times and FX, to Premiere on FX March 29|website=New York Times|first=|last=|date=January 19, 2024|access-date=February 17, 2024}}</ref> |
