Next Episode of Nuclear Family is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Nuclear Family follows filmmaker Ry Russo-Young as she turns the camera on her own past to explore the meaning of family. In the late 70s/early 80s, when the concept of a gay family was inconceivable to most, Ry and her sister Cade were born to two lesbian mothers through sperm donors. Ry's idyllic childhood was threatened by an unexpected lawsuit which sent shockwaves through her family's lives and continues to reverberate today. An exploration of love, loyalty, loss and the immutable power of family in all its configurations, Nuclear Family eloquently examines the dynamics that enrich and complicate the bonds of love.
Lesbian partners Robin Young and Sandy Russo look to start a family by seeking sperm donors; what begins as an unconventional yet warm arrangement with second daughter Ry's donor becomes increasingly fraught as he pursues more rights over her life.
Nine-year-old Ry finds herself at the center of a four-year lawsuit that threatens her family's very existence.
Following a landmark court decision, Ry grapples with her sperm donor's terminal illness and its implications for her future.
