Description:
In this National Geographic documentary, Lisa Ling investigates the lasting effects of China's two-decade "one-child policy," implemented to control population growth. Because of cultural preferences for sons, girls have historically been hidden, aborted, or abandoned, leading to tens of thousands of girls in Chinese orphanages. Now, over a quarter of babies adopted by American families come from China—almost exclusively girls. Ling accompanies some of these families on their trip to meet their adopted daughters. Through their emotional journey, she explores the happiness of these new families while examining China's gender imbalance, its origins, and potential future consequences. Ling delves into the complex issues surrounding China's efforts to manage its population.
