🎬 STATE ORGANS: Unmasking Transplant Abuse in China Film Screening - followed by Q&A with Nobel Peace Prize Nominee DAVID MATAS in the State Library Theatre, Perth
When two young people vanish without a trace in China, their families begin a decades-long quest for answers. What they uncover is more harrowing than imagined: a state-driven network of forced organ harvesting, targeting prisoners of conscience from Falun Gong practitioners.
"State Organs" is a multi-award-winning documentary that exposes one of the most disturbing human rights crises of our time. Featuring a powerful original score by Emmy Award-winning composer Patrick Kirst, this gripping film weaves together investigative journalism, survivor testimony, and brave resistance.
Join us for an eye-opening screening followed by an expert-led Q&A session with David Matas - International Human Rights Lawyer & Nobel Peace Prize Nominee. Ask questions, share reflections, and learn more about this ongoing atrocity.
