The story features two families with members suffered from Brittle Bone Disease in Shandong and Hebei in China. This was both a physically and mentally challenged trip for the production crew. It was shocking to reveal the survival status of children with rare diseases in the most remote areas of China, yet heart-quaking to realize that they resign to fate and are longing for love. What are hidden within their fragile glass-like bodies? Depression and sorrow that no ordinary people can imagine, or dreams for the future that have been buried deep? Are their hearts as fragile as glass, or as clear as crystal? "China Dolls" portrayed the children who are struggling to build a reality out of their fragile dreams.

This compelling film follows the medical teams risking their lives to save others in Syria. The United Nations estimates almost 200,000 people have been killed since Syria’s civil war began, with many hundreds of thousands more injured. Millions have been forced from their homes, but the full human cost of the conflict is little known to the outside world because of the danger Western journalists face in trying to enter areas not controlled by the government. Most doctors have fled from those locations and many hospitals have been destroyed. The documentary follows British trauma surgeon David Nott as he makes the perilous journey across the border into Syria to work alongside medics who have stayed behind and shows him carrying out life-saving surgery in a facility forced underground by daily bombardment.

American healthcare costs are rising so rapidly that they could reach $4.2 trillion annually, roughly 20% of our gross domestic product, within ten years. We spend $300 billion a year on pharmaceutical drugs - almost as much as the rest of the world combined. We pay more, yet our health outcomes are worse. About 65% of Americans are overweight and almost 75% of healthcare costs are spent on preventable diseases that are the major causes of disability and death in our society. General Audience
