Magonia 56, June 1996
For almost ten years a horrible story has haunted the world’s media: in Latin America children are robbed of their kidneys and corneas for the benefit of wealthy Americans.

The first images of the documentary show a man with a wispy beard rocking his head back and forth as if he is in a trance.
