STATE ORGANS (Raymond Zhang, 2024 / 74 mins / Mandarin w. EST / PG) When two young people mysteriously disappeared in police custody in mainland China, their families began a 20-year dangerous search for them within the communist state. What they encountered was merciless rejection, a shocking state crime, and eventually, a sense of hope as a renewal of traditional faith emerged in China. The atrocity of state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting in China is comparable to the holocaust in World War II, with tens of thousands of victims, but the difference is: it is still going on. From Peabody Award-winning Filmmaker and Emmy Award-winning Composer.
