All in My Family is a 2019 American short documentary film directed by Hao Wu. The film follows a traditional heterosexual family where the son is a gay Chinese man who has chosen to have children via surrogates with their same-sex partner, Eric. This documentary provides raw footage between Hao and their family's reaction to their sexual orientation, reckoning of kinship, and parenthood. The documentary highlights the obstacles that come with traditional cultural practices for minority LGBTQ-identifying people who struggle to find a way to express themselves and start a family.[1][2][3][4]
