SYDNEY, Australia―Multi-award winning film documentary “Hard To Believe”―an expose of organ pillaging from prisoners of conscience in China has wrapped up its premiere tour across Australia and New Zealand. Attending audiences participated in Q&A sessions with a panel of subject-matter experts following the screenings.
Directed by two-time Emmy winning Ken Stone, “Hard To Believe” questions why the international community has not been paying attention to this grisly practice in the world’s second largest economy.
The film screenings and expert panel events have attracted the support of the Australian Lawyers for Human Rights, the Australian Council for Human Rights and Education, and the International Coalition to End Organ Pillaging in China.
Introducing the film in Sydney, former Australian Lawyers for Human Rights president Nathan Kennedy told the audience that observers can no longer sit dumbfounded in disbelief at what is happening in China.
“We cannot let this grotesque assault on human dignity go unchallenged and we have no excuse to turn a blind eye to do nothing,” he said.
The screenings come on the heels of House Resolution 343 which on June 13 saw the US House of Representatives voice its concern about “persistent and credible reports of systematic, state-sanctioned organ harvesting from non-consenting prisoners of conscience,” in China.
