ORGAN MARKET

Organ Market

España. 2009. Color. 15 min. Documental. Vídeo.
  • Film Director: Sally Gutiérrez Dewar.
In the slums of Tondo people sell their organs to make a living. A cornea or a kidney can be "donated" for as much as US$ 2000. Squalor and transplant biotech converge in a surreal world where science-fictional dystopias have become reality, and the poor are harvested for body parts by the rich.
