INDEPENDENT LENS presents “One Child Nation”

China’s One-Child Policy, the extreme population control measure that made it illegal for couples to have more than one child, may have ended in 2015, but the process of dealing with the trauma of its brutal enforcement is only just beginning.

Inspired by the birth of her first child, filmmaker Nanfu Wang returned to China to speak with her own mother and brother, and explore the ripple effect of this devastating social experiment.

“One Child Nation” uncovers one shocking human rights violation after another — from abandoned newborns to forced sterilizations and abortions, to government abductions.

Premieres Monday, March 30, 10:00 p.m. ET
