Free Members-Only Screening: One Child Nation

Includes a conversation with director Nanfu Wang

China’s one-child policy – the extreme population control measure that made it illegal for couples to have more than one child – may have ended in 2015, but the process of dealing with the trauma of its brutal enforcement is only just beginning. From award-winning documentarian Nanfu Wang (Hooligan Sparrow, I Am Another You) and Jialing Zhang, the sweeping One Child Nation explores the ripple effect of this devastating social experiment, uncovering one shocking human rights violation after another; from abandoned newborns, to forced sterilizations and abortions, and government abductions. Wang digs fearlessly into her own personal life, weaving her experience as a new mother and the firsthand accounts of her family members into archival propaganda material and testimony from victims and perpetrators alike, yielding a revelatory and essential record of this chilling, unprecedented moment in human civilization.

2019, 89 minutes, color, DCP | Directed by Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang
