Is the Chinese Communist Regime harvesting organs from non-consenting donors?

Who are the alleged victims?

Find out yourself with this Peabody Award-winning documentary. “Human Harvest” takes you through the international investigation led by Nobel Peace Prize nominees David Kilgour and David Matas, unveiling the most horrendous crime of our time. We hope to bring awareness of this new form of Crime Against Humanity and the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. This screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
