    • Quotes

      Nanfu Wang: But I want that decision to be my own. I'm struck by the irony that I left a country where the government forced women to abort and I moved to another country where the governments restrict abortions. On the surface they seem like opposites, but both are about taking away women's control of their own bodies.

    Insightful
    The documentary on China's One-Child Nation leaves you numb and forces you to think to what extent humans can go for their desires. China has been able to control its population to a large extent which would've had a huge impact on its economy and maybe it wouldn't have been here today where it is but at what cost? It's a difficult question and makes you speechless.

    The movie is very insightful and brings the topic to the discussion which wasn't the case. It's truly a must-watch.
