A POWERFUL DOCUMENTARY: 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING
Organ transplant tourism has been on the rise globally, yet behind the promise of life-saving procedures lies a largely underreported reality.

You are cordially invited to attend a screening of the award-winning documentary “State Organs,” followed by a moderated Q&A panel with leading experts.

About the Film:
Masterfully directed by Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Raymond Zhang and accompanied by an evocative score from Emmy Award-winning composer Daryl Bennett, State Organs has garnered 39 international awards and was an official contender for Best Documentary Feature at the 97th Academy Awards. Based on true events, the film chronicles the heart-wrenching journeys of two families as they relentlessly searched for their loved ones who mysteriously disappeared while in police custody. Their pursuit of truth uncovered a systemic, state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting operationone that continues to this day.

 

Hosted by: End Forced Organ Harvesting Rotary Satellite Club
