One Child Nation

Nanfu Wang's and Jialing Zhan's eye-opening, gut-wrenching, enlightening, informative, thought-provoking, 93-minute documentary that examines the horrific, traumatic repercussions of the one-child law that the Chinese government implemented in the 1979 that forced women to abort fetuses in even the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy and to submit to sterilizations and includes candid interviews with medical personnel who performed thousands of abortions and sterilizations, human traffickers who sold infants to orphanages to be adopted in the West, many family members who agreed with and abided by the policy, and strict government officials who promoted the one-child policy through brainwashing propaganda and often cruely and unflinchingly enforced the law.
