One Child Nation: Film Screening and Discussion
October 25, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Monday, October 25, 7 p.m. in Winants Auditorium
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. From award-winning documentarian Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang, One Child Nation explores the ripple effects of this devastating social experiment, uncovering one shocking human rights violation after another — from abandoned newborns (almost always girls), to forced sterilizations and abortions, to government abductions.

The film screening will be followed by a discussion with Dr. Dennis Feaster, Associate Professor of Social Work, and Dr. Gloria Tseng, Associate Professor of History.
This event is free and open to the public. Due to Hope College’s COVID precautions, masks are required indoors on campus for all individuals who are vaccinated or unvaccinated.
Presented by the Saint Benedict Institute; co-sponsored by Markets and Morality.
