Children of shame are the offspring of people sentenced to death in China. This documentary shows the lives of these innocent children who are shunned by society and their benefactor over the course of two years. We are hopeful to bring a follow up on some of these kids who are grown ups now. We will keep you posted.

Oh my heart hurts for these babies 😓. Grandma Zang is an incredible woman and deserves the Nobel peace prize!

That poor grandma... my heart wept for her and how she must have felt. Thank you for sharing this documentary with us... certainly eye opening to a different cultural struggle.

This really brings back memories of my childhood. I spent 13 years in a Chinese orphanage from birth before being adopted by an American family. You know, what they show on TV about orphanages? It's mostly just the good stuff. I remember when the media or some charity event came around, we had to be on our best behavior and spruce up the place. But behind the scenes? Totally different vibe. I won't go into detail about my experience in the Chinese orphanage, but just imagine one teacher trying to manage 40-50 kids with different age range. Growing up in a state-funded orphanage as a girl, it wasn't easy. Before I was adopted, they had to find your birth parents first, but that's tricky because, well, abandoning kids is illegal in China. So, of course, no one is going to come forward claiming they're your birth parents. Lucky for me, they couldn't find my birth parents, and I was able to come to America. Also, back then, it was rare to get adopted at the age of 13; the cut-off age, I think, was 14. Otherwise, I'd probably be stuck in China with not much to look forward to.

It is a brutal place and I lived there for 2 years. You have old people working hard physical labor but not earning enough to afford a bowl of noodles. When they say they can't afford to keep the children it it true. Children must have food, medicine and schooling. This orphan lady is a rare gem. Most Chinese care only for their own family and they aren't charitable at all.

Little Dragon & Little Bud`s grandfather is a higher spiritual being, who follows that beat of a different drum. Seemingly he understands the difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. People who resist caring for their orphaned children, because of shame, need to learn that they are the very ones, for whom we should feel shame. Such a loving, dutiful grandfather, will no doubt be remembered for many generations, in the stories of his grandchildren. A kind heart enables spiritual growth. Pridefulness shrinks and diminishes the soul.

The amount of trauma inflicted upon these poor children is absolutely astounding. Praying things change for them and all the innocent children affected by being forced orphans. Thank goodness Sun Village seems to provide a safe alternative for them.

No child anywhere in the world deserves to go through this. This documentary was absolutely heartbreaking. Beyond listening to the individual stories of these innocent children (their voices are invaluable), the other take away I see is that the orphanage should get sponsorship. How can we help?

Wow that prison reunion was just awful! How traumatic for everyone. And the man’s mother “you ruined everything!” Right in front of his children she said that. And instead of a memory for dad it was an occasion filled with shame! That was just terrible! It would have been better if the dad could have hugged them and read a story and played a game so the children would have a happy moment to remember.

You can’t say that…it’s not your culture. The documentary focuses on the kids because they are innocent, but the father is in death row. His mom is expressing her anger and disappointment, and frankly, if that was me, it be worse infront of the kids. Your cautionary tale right there.

A 9yo working 10hr days in a textile factory. "I didn't like the work, I had to keep my head bent and it gives me back pains". I can't believe her grandmother took her out of Sun Village. What life does she get now? One of poverty and endless shaming. How messed up and sad.

@@juanitarichards1074 You are looking at it from a Western perspective. At least these children are not subjected to trafficking, addicted to phones, seeing pornography on the internet, not eating junk food etc. Yes, through the lens of privilege westerners it is easy to judge. Life is very difficult for millions around the planet and videos like this show the hard reality of children's lives who have not had a good start to life. It is tragic, frightening and terribly sad. It is also tragic in our western countries, so many children have parents that take drugs, drink, are addicts, their needs are not met at school or not fitting into social norms. It is tragic too how children have phones accessing into the adult world, losing their innocent so young. It is tragic, so many western children are trafficked, take drugs, run away, are murdered or sexually exploited. I would rather see that poor kid not go to school, work with their grandparents than be subjected to porn, drugs, junk food, trafficked, sexually abused. I have spent years in these Chinese villages, and I too was shocked and alarmed, yet in the world we live in today, I don't know who is better off..the kid pulled out of school to help his grandparents, but eats healthy food, or the obese child who is subjected to porn, social pressure, junk food etc. Life is very tough.

As the director of the orphanage said: I cant do anything against ignorance. This will be a very heavy burden for the girls life. Such a shame

The way people in China communicate so harshly is painful to watch. It’s one thing to speak candidly to an adult but there is a way to explain things to children w/compassion/consideration. Everything is so matter of fact, the tone of voice/yelling doesn’t help either. Highly emotional situations but also symultaneously promoting suppression as a coping mechanism. Seems like a lot of emotionally neglected little people growing up there. “Stop crying, don’t cry… it’ll be ok” meanwhile the child’s entire life is crumbling, they’re abandoned, shamed, confused & scared. Seems like a perfect formula for everything to be ok to me. 🤯

She had a lot of brothers and sisters and her father tried but found it so hard to take care of them as well as work. They were put in an orphanage and he moved next door giving his time every Saturday to do any work needed at the orphanage he made sure he was there for his children and although he died before I was born I feel such admiration and love for him.

So heartbreaking. The poor precious innocent little children are not the ones who committed sins. The people at the orphanage are wonderful, especially that one woman they call grandmother. Such a deep love she has for the innocent children who committed no crimes. Ive been crying this entire documentary. Good job making this.

As I'm no stranger to a broken family, violence, poverty and homelessness, my heart goes out to these children and their families who weren't able to provide a safe and stable homestead for their lost kids. Second is the orphanage the caretakers, the volunteers and of course the orphan grandmother of 2000 orphan children. Raising them with a warm and friendly welcome, structure, schooling, gardening, social construct and maintaining contact with their families where possible. This orphanage is an achievement of epic proportions, worth 10 times the Nobel Prize for Peace. Seeing the kids happy to see her arriving in the building, giving them hugs as if it were their own children. That moved me to tears. But also, seeing the kids struggle to wrap their heads around their situation also reduced me to tears. Having your parents removed from your life is a scar that will always hurt.

It would cause outrage in the society, if the criminals are viewed as being rewarded. So, such a program would have to be possible through more private channels or semi-private channels.
