By 1980, China's population was approaching one billion, and their idiotic system of centralized planning was unable to feed all of them. So the country enacted a mandatory one-child-per-family policy.
You will learn a lot about how the Chinese treat their females in the documentary. It is shocking.
This is one of the most educational documentaries I have ever seen. There are amazing and shocking revelations throughout. Babies left by the side of the road to die, rescuers of those babies sent to prison for a decade, and on and on.
Since male babies were preferred, and you can only have one baby, a lot of females were aborted. And if you already had a child and got pregnant, the woman was forced to have an abortion. They were often hog-tied, literally, and dragged to a clinic for their forced abortions.
By 1998 there had been more forced abortions than the current population of the United States.
The filmmaker is Chinese and she interviews family members, policy makers, and mid-wives who performed forced abortions. One of her relatives and his mother left a baby at a meat market in a basket and watched as it died over a period of two days.
Most forced abortions were at the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy.
One mid-wife performed something like 50,000 abortions. She would often induce the woman to give birth and then would murder the infant.
She now feels she needs to atone and devotes her life to charity and good works.
Another mid-wife feels no guilt at all. Like many Chinese, she feels it was a matter of national survival since there was not enough food.
There is some seriously hard-hearted stuff in this film.
Please watch it.
