THE CHINESE PRISONER’S CHILDREN

 

Three Chinese kids are shunned by their relatives after their father accidentally kills a child. He will most likely get the death penalty.

“Who would want to live without parents? I wish I was an orphan. Orphans are better off, because they don’t have parents. Orphans don’t have to bear this horrible memory.”

In this powerful short doc, we see the fate of parentless children across China.
