LIVES ON THE MARKET: IRAQ'S ORGAN TRAFFICKING UNVEILED

After two decades of bombings, sectarian violence between Shiite and Sunni factions, and government corruption at the highest level, an illicit market has taken root in Iraq, readily accessible via social media and whose reach extends beyond national borders. This is the story of Iraq’s organ market, a 1.5-billion-dollar industry with links to organised crime, and in which the Iraqi government is complicit. This complex and groundbreaking documentary follows firsthand accounts of all those involved, from brokers travelling Iraq trying to secure organs, to a surgeon who makes use of this market in order to save lives, to the desperate men and women willing to become donors in order to survive for a few more months.
