Technostorks
Producer: Open Source Productions
Director: Andrei Kirilenko
Run time: 51 minutes
Production year: 2006
Technostorks documents the true life stories of three couples - Joann and Sean, Nora and Eric, and Wendy and Rodney – as they cope with infertility and go through in-vitro fertilization. It is the first IVF cycle for Sean and Joann, the second for Wendy and Rodney, and the fourth, and most likely the last, cycle for Nora and Eric.
Technostorks documents the couples’ most private moments, showing images never before seen on the screen. We follow couples into the operating room to witness egg retrievals and embryo transfers, hear their views on living with infertility, spirituality, and parenthood, and learn with them the outcomes of their IVF cycles. Throughout the film, top experts explain the technological, psychological and spiritual aspects of assisted reproduction. In the end, not all of our couples will achieve pregnancy, but they will all undergo a personal transformation.
