Great news!
Freedom United, the largest modern slavery/human trafficking community globally is partnering with The International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China (ETAC) on a forced organ harvesting/organ trafficking campaign.
Swoop Films' DEEP DIVE with former Chinese Doctor, Enver Tohti, discusses how Chinese citizens view Chinese propaganda, particularly in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and how the the crime of state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience is still taking place now, despite the pandemic.

UC Leuven-Limburg in Leuven, Belgium, hosted a screening of the award-winning documentary, Hard To Believe. This event was part of their ‘International week 2019’. The audience consisted of PBA Nursing students, lecturers and their international colleagues.
Hard To Believe, produced by Swoop Films, is a documentary that examines the issue of forced live organ harvesting from Chinese prisoners of conscience, and the response—or lack of it—around the world.
Afterwards ETAC’s Benelux Manager, Elke Van den Brande, presented on further developments since the film. The China Tribunal was introduced and students were invited to spread the word and to join ETAC’s Student Movement.
One of the students, Anton Dolhain, gave his first reaction after watching the documentary.
“I can raise awareness, but the actual changes will be made by the politicians. They need to improve the law. They need to change it everywhere, otherwise it won’t stop.”
Due to its great success, the screening will be repeated two times during the upcoming 2020 edition of UC Leuven-Limburg’s international week.

A list created by "Nature"on the top ten most influential scientists of 2019 gave a nod to Wendy Rogers, a bioethicist at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia who has been investigating forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience in China. She cited our documentary "Hard To Believe" that she viewed at a conference in 2015 as one of the main catalysts that inspired her to engage in the issue beyond research into activism. Her research team found wide-ranging evidence of the Chinese Communist Party's atrocities in what they labeled in their investigations as "one of the world’s major bioethical scandals." Check out her story below!
Dear Friend,
You've heard about the allegations of forced organ harvesting in China through reports and via our documentary film "Hard To Believe.” We are relieved to give you an update that the Independent Tribunal Into Forced Organ Harvesting of Prisoners of Conscience in China, after 12 months of reviewing testimonies and thousands of pages of evidence, has come to its final verdict. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is to be held guilty for its crimes against humanity.
To view a briefing of the tribunal, click on the image above
Our film “Hard To Believe” had been used as evidence against the Chinese Communist Party in its mass killing of prisoners of conscience. The tribunal’s final verdict was that China under the Chinese Communist Party was a “criminal state” and that mass killings of innocent civilians were taking place to sell their organs.
The verdict of the tribunal and its findings are hoped to be used to urge international organizations to take action.
The international, Independent China Tribunal investigated the forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience in mainland China.
Swoop Films was asked to create this video for the tribunal to document the historic findings of the tribunal as given at their last hearing, where their Final Judgment was read by Sir Geoffrey Nice. Our documentary “Hard To Believe” was submitted as evidence in the hearing.

Condemnation of the Chinese Communist Party for its forced organ-harvesting of prisoners of conscience is growing internationally. Many survivors of Chinese labor camps and human rights lawyers among others provided evidence and gave testimony throughout the tribunal which lasted several days. The tribunal, led by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, a world-renowned lawyer and professor of law stated of the evidence given, “We, the tribunal members are all certain, unanimously, and sure beyond all reasonable doubt that in China, forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience has been practiced for a substantial period of time, involving a very substantial number of victims.”
The 2016 report “Bloody Harvest/The Slaughter: An Update” published by David Kilgour, David Matas and Ethan Gutmann who were a part of our film Hard To Believe which sheds light on forced organ harvesting in China gave statistics pointing to genocide with between 60,000 and 100,000 organ transplants per year from Falun Gong, Uyghurs, Tibetans, and House Christians who are specifically targeted groups whose members are killed for their organs. This tribunal may be one of the most significant events to date by the international community to address and hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for its crimes against humanity.
Watch Sir Geoffrey Nice’s closing remarks below:
The documentary Hard to Believe was screened at the University of Miami on the evening of November 1. The documentary offers proof that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is killing Falun Gong practitioners for their organs. Medical professors at the university are condemning the barbaric practice.
Hard to Believe is a foray into the relatively unseen world of organ harvesting. What the film does best is introduce viewers to the topic and generate an awareness of the issue. As awareness of the topic does increase, the film directors can take credit for creating a megaphone through which the topic is amplified. Certainly, the film is posed to spur further international conversations and legislation around the practice of human organ harvesting.
At the initiative of the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse In China (ETAC) an independent Tribunal has been established to inquire into forced organ harvesting from, amongst others, prisoners of conscience in China. The Tribunal expects to publish its findings in early-mid 2019.
A screening in Warsaw, Poland on January 13th was the first in a series of screenings across Poland.
A series of screenings at Universidad Mundial campuses and other sites in Mexico lead to interest and discussions.
Salt Lake Community College featured "Hard To Believe" in their "Movies That Matter" event series this week followed by a panel discussion after the screening with Dr. Weldon Gilcrease, representative of Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting; Winston Liu, a former prisoner of conscience in China; and Kay Rubacek, Swoop Films producer.
This horrifying expose of China’s practice of organs from prisoners of conscience, a practice denied by the Chinese government, is based on reporting by author Ethan Gutmann (The Slaughter). It is corroborated by global experts in human rights, medical ethics, and transplant surgery, making a convincing and compelling case.
