China's Stolen Children

Ten years after the policy-changing and award-winning film The Dying Rooms (referring to orphanages with "dark rooms" where the weakest and least liked children were left to die) the same team returns to a very different China where the infamous One Child Policy has had the horrific side effect of a boom in stolen children.

China’s Stolen Children is beautiful, haunting, deeply tragic, and impossible to ignore. It takes us into the heart of modern China, a place where girl babies are being sold for 3,000-4,000 RMB (2200-3000 NOK); detectives specialise in finding kidnapped children; and child traffickers are so relaxed about the trade they ply, that they allow the film-makers to covertly record them in their trade - the buying and selling of tens of thousands of tiny human lives. oslodok

Jezza and Kate will be talking after the film about the impact their documentaries have had at international and local policy levels.
