Made In America is a 2003 comedy film directed by Richard Benjamin.
Whoopi Goldberg stars as Sarah Matthews, who runs an African-American oriented bookstore in Oakland. She is raising her daughter, a beautiful high school student named Zora (Nia Long), on her own after her husband's death many years earlier.
As a result of a science class blood test, Zora discovers that the man she thought was her father actually wasn't. Instead Zora finds she was the result of artificial insemination.
After researching the sperm bank's records, Zora discovers, much to the surprise of Sarah and herself, that the anonymous sperm donor is in fact, Hal Jackson, a loud, crude obnoxious (and white) used-car dealer who advertises on late-night television.
Zora visits Hal while he is filming a commercial and Hal brushes her off. Enraged, Sarah tells Hal off, but after meeting Zora he now feels a paternal itch.
Not only that, but he is beginning to feel an attraction to Sarah...
Tagline: At the sperm-bank she asked for a tall, intelligent, black man. One out of three ain't bad.
