Synopsis

Crossing three continents, we follows entrepreneur Doron who takes pregnancy and makes it into a globalized business. Doron has developed a way to outsource the birth process--the system is driven by law and economics. In Israel, the practice of using surrogate mothers is marred by legal roadblocks. In the United States, it is expensive. And, in India, it is affordable, but Western clients want white babies. Here, we learn how necessity becomes the mother of invention.
