One Child Nation
From award-winning documentarian Nanfu Wang
(Hooligan Sparrow, I Am Another You) and Jialing Zhang,
One Child Nation explores the ripple effect of China’s extreme population-control policy
that lasted decades and restricted couples from having more than one child.
The film reveals shocking human rights violations, including abandoned newborns,
forced sterilizations and abortions, and government abductions.
Wang digs fearlessly into her own personal life, weaving her experience as a mother
and the first-hand accounts of her family members
with archival propaganda and testimonies from victims and perpetrators alike.
Though the policy ended in 2016,
the process of dealing with the traumas of its brutal enforcement is only just beginning.
