Fictional representation

Movie plots involving artificial insemination by donor are seen in Made in America, Road Trip, The Back-Up Plan, The Kids Are All Right, The Switch, Starbuck, and Baby Mama, the latter also involving surrogacy.

Films and other fiction depicting emotional struggles of assisted reproductive technology have had an upswing first in the latter part of the 2000s (decade), although the techniques have been available for decades. Yet, the number of people that can relate to it by personal experience in one way or another is ever growing, and the variety of trials and struggles is huge.

A 2012 Bollywood comedy movie, Vicky Donor, was based on sperm donation. The film release saw an effect; the number of men donating sperm increased in India.

A 2017 Kollywood movie Kutram 23 is also a movie based on sperm donation.
