Refreshments will be provided.

This is a provocative documentary that critiques the U.S. position on population control and the ethics of holding clinical trials in developing nations. Unfortunately, after the documentary's release, it was subsequently banned from being screened in the United States, and it is no longer distributed in any country. Take this opportunity to watch an in-depth story of Bangladeshi women and the human rights abuses they suffer from clinical trials.
