Synopsis:
In all-American Boise, Idaho, an unexpected industry has emerged - commercial surrogacy. Here, one in fifteen mothers will carry a baby for a stranger at some point in her life. Its local hospital, St. Luke’s, has developed and runs the most comprehensive surrogacy program of its kind in the country. MADE IN BOISE is the surprising story of four women who find purpose carrying other people’s babies here - the unofficial “surrogacy capital” of the United States - and encounter unexpected complexities along the way.
