State Organs: Unmasking Transplant Abuse in China tracks the heart-wrenching journey of two families over more than 20 years as they searched for their loved ones who went missing under mysterious circumstances in China in the early 2000s. During their search, the families uncover the horror of a state-run organ harvesting operation that targets Falun Gong practitioners.
The documentary also highlights the shocking disparity in organ transplant wait times between China and the free world. While ethical systems like those in the United States often require years of waiting, China’s state-run hospitals advertise organ transplants within days or weeks, implying that human organs are being sourced on demand—an impossibility without a living pool of victims.
Local Official: It Is Shocking to Me
Among the attendees was Michele D. Truitt, supervisor of the Township of East Goshen in Chester County, who said the film, “Almost leaves me speechless. I can’t believe the atrocity that is being committed against the Falun Gong. It’s a political and spiritual religious atrocity, much like the Holocaust.”

Truitt said that her mother received a kidney transplant recently so seeing the documentary especially touched her. She said her mother had a strict preparation process for the surgery. She said her mother’s three-month wait for the kidneys was considered “highly unusual,” as they had been previously told that they could face a waiting time of “anywhere from three to five years.” In contrast, she learned from the documentary that in China, vital organs can be matched and transplanted within days.
“It is shocking to me,” Truitt said. “They can just go over to China and say, ‘This is what I need.’ They get what they need. But what they don’t get is the understanding that they have to respect the gift they’ve been given. Because it’s not a gift; in that case, this is a business transaction. If it’s a business transaction, it’s just money that’s exchanging hands, and there’s no respect for what’s behind it on either side.”
Truitt called the practice “barbaric” and “a modern form of genocide.” She pledged to contact both her state and federal legislators. “I will make sure to tell at least 10 people about this,” she said. “It’s not about organs. It’s about all human lives. All human lives do matter.
“It’s upsetting to know that there’s a country out there with a political party in place that is promoting the disposal of their residents’ lives, and for what good? It’s only a money transaction,” Truitt said. “A gift of an organ really needs to be something much more connected than that.”
This Is Calling for Action from All of Us
Other viewers expressed similar dismay and determination to take action.
Darryl Brown, who owns a local company, said the film, “Really let me know just how pervasive it is, and how it’s just getting worse and worse. It’s a strong call for all of us—whether you’re in America, Western or not, even in the Eastern Hemisphere—we need to do something. We have to stop this.”

Brown said the documentary was “chilling and heartbreaking,” adding that he plans to educate himself further and reach out to his elected officials. “I’m going to contact my local state senator and also U.S. Senator John Fetterman,” he said. “We need to get this into law just to put an end to this.”
Brown said the film revealed to him the global reach of the issue. “I would never have guessed that people could get organs in days,” he said. “I wasn’t aware that folks internationally had traveled to China for this. It’s unbelievable.”
He praised the local screening effort. “A library like this is a hub for our county. It brings awareness to young and old,” Brown said. “I’m a member of a local church, and I hope to bring a speaker there to get attention to this.”
Brown called the CCP’s forced organ harvesting “a Holocaust,” warning, “If we’re not doing something about this, then I don’t know what will move people to act.”
We Must Learn About This and Urge Legislation
Another attendee, Lisa Rogers, a yoga teacher from Chester County, said the film left her, “Amazed and disgusted.”
She said she heard about the persecution of Falun Gong in China, but she hadn’t realized the extent. Doctors and professionals participate in this atrocity, so this is so against humanity.

“I just didn’t realize it was at this scale that they were doing this,” Rogers said. “It’s horrifying to think that it’s almost accepted, that everyone there knows about it.”“We have to be aware of it, and then push back and make legislation so they can’t spread propaganda here,” she said.
“I think it’s very important to have screenings like this in local communities—it starts to get people aware of what’s happening, even though it’s far away.”
Rogers said she would “definitely sign the petition online” and talk to her family and friends about this because she believes, “They’re not aware.
“I feel anger and distress,” she said. “But that’s the first step of being able to do something about these important issues.”
Many attendees said State Organs was more than a documentary—it was a moral reckoning.
