For some, DNA testing is a harmless foray into their family’s past. But for others, it can be life-changing. The increase in popularity of DNA testing means thousands of people all over the world are unearthing long-held secrets, opening up a floodgate of questions for their families and our society.

Bri Lee joins author Dani Shapiro (Inheritance) to explore the complex questions surrounding our right to know our own identity.
