Synopsis
Set in China, where the infamous one child policy has had the side effect of a boom in stolen children. Through candid interviews with parents of stolen children, a man who brokers the deals and has sold his own offspring, to new parents grappling with giving up their daughter through lack of options, the documentary shows the crisis that such stringent government policy has brought to China's poorest people. A cohesive overview of the current situation in China, whereby girl babies are being sold by parents who are unable to afford a birth license, babies are aborted as late as 8 months into the pregnancy to avoid government fines and persecution, and young boys are kidnapped and traded on the black market whilst the State is more concerned with keeping the story quiet than tracing China's stolen children.
