"State Organs" Screening & Discussion

Medical tourism for organ transplants is accelerating across the globe—but behind the promise of life-saving procedures lies a horrific truth. China is leading a brutal system of illegal organ harvesting and unethical human experimentation. This form of medical tourism is not just immoral—it is a grotesque violation of human dignity, marked by a chilling disregard for innocent life.

Directed by Raymond Zhang, the powerful and emotional narrative of “State Organs” has earned it critical acclaim, including 42 international accolades and official contender for 97th Oscar Best documentary feature.

Based on true events, “State Organs” follows the deeply personal journeys of two families who have spent decades searching for loved ones who disappeared while in police custody. What they uncover is unimaginable: a state-run organ harvesting operation that still exists today. Their story is one of heartbreak, courage, and the unwavering pursuit of truth.

When truth is shared, it creates change. Your awareness, your voice, can help bring light to the darkest places. Let this film be more than viewing. Let it be a beginning.
