Kidneys on Ice - 50 minute documentary - trailer

Journeyman Pictures

In a world where everything is for sale, is it wrong to sell your own kidney? And is it wrong to buy an illegal organ if it could save your life? Every year 15000 human organs are trafficked from impoverished Europeans to recipients in more privileged countries. A shocking and exclusive new film on an intractable subject. The traffic often occurs entirely in Western Europe. Anatoli is poor and looking for work in Germany. Hes approached by organ traffickers who persuade him to have German Doctors remove his kidney. He tells the doctors that he will give it to a sick family member. They advised me what to say, how to talk, how to give everything. After the operation he hands over the kidney to the traffickers for 000. Professor Muhlbacher has been tricked into performing such operations, investigations were carried out as usual and they were performing and acting and we just believed them.
