"China's Stolen Children"

this is a documentary broadcasted on Channel 4 (again) - the voice of documentaries and home to alternative programs.

The story follows a detective on his job - trying to 'rescue' children who've been snatched and stolen off the streets of China and traded for money.

It involve a desperate couple trying to retrieve their beloved son; another couple who's desperate to get rid of the new born girl as she's without a birth certificate; a detective, a buyer and one of the trafficker.

As the documentary goes on, the audience slowly realizes, that human trafficking is a result of the 'ever-so-right' One Child Policy - which is now the major underlying problem of the policy.

Facts and figures are being thrown at us whilst at the same time we follow the personal stories of these people who are all somehow intricately involved in this process of trafficking.
However, the 'addressing the actual problem itself' doesn't happen til right at the end - without obvious jumps, the director has managed to build the emotive jump for the conclusion.

It's very factual and informative - almost as if the producer was trying to make a point.
I learnt things I didn't, and I took away a lesson of treasuring loved ones.

That, means its a good documentary - not only was it moving and convincing, the audience was also able to walk away remembering a lesson that was taught through the medium of a documentary.
