When Zora discovers that her mom conceived her through artificial insemination, Zora sets out to discover her father's identity. However, Zora is stunned, and Sarah is alarmed, when the sperm donor turns out to be a very shallow, smarmy, fast-talking car dealer named Hal Jackson -- who's white! Zora wants to get to know her dad better; unfortunately her mother and Hal mix worse than oil and water. But as Sarah and Hal come to accept each other's race and their situation, they begin to see one another in a new light. [More]

Reviews for Made in America
This first-time screenplay by Holly Goldberg Sloan feels more like an outline, and director Richard Benjamin doesn't seem to know quite what to do with it.
Has anyone else noticed the apparent subtext that black men are unstable and unreliable, and only a white man can be sensitive to a black woman's needs?
