One Child Nation | Documentary

Tagged: Anti-socialism, Democide

A documentary history of China’s “one child policy” — and the price paid for it by those whose children were taken away and killed.

External Reviews

“Anyone drawn to the now-resurgent notion that collectivism is kind of cool would benefit from a viewing of One Child Nation, a documentary that demonstrates what can happen when state bureaucrats are allowed to fundamentally re-order their country’s most intimate cultural customs…By the end I felt that my heart was ready to burst from my chest and leap to its death down on the floor.”
–Reason

“Using the aggressively bland term ‘one-child policy’ is a bit like saying that 1942 Germany had restrictions on Jews. You may never have thought much about how a huge nation enforces a limit of one baby per family, but the horrifying details of China’s Holocaust of children emerge in a powerful documentary told by a woman whose family was one of the countless millions who suffered.”
–National Review

“They were following orders.That’s the explanation heard time and again in the harrowing documentary One Child Nation, which takes a difficult look at China’s one-child-per-couple policy, enacted in 1979 as a means of population control.”
–Detroit News

“You must see One Child Nation, which tells how China’s ‘One-Child Policy’ affected its people…a gruesome and horrifying tour de force. It’s also a cautionary tale for a nation which supposedly cherishes its freedom.”
–Victory Girls

About Miss Liberty

This site is a collection of films and documentaries of particular interest to libertarians (and those interested in libertarianism). It began as a book, Miss Liberty’s Guide to Film: Movies for the Libertarian Millennium, where many of the recommended films were first reviewed. The current collection has grown to now more than double the number in that original list, and it’s growing still.
