Kineska politika jednog djeteta završila je 2015. godine, ali tek počinjemo spoznavati kako je bilo živjeti pod tim programom, kaže TED-ova suradnica i snimateljica dokumentarnih filmova Nanfu Wang. Pomoću snimki iz svog filma "Nacija jednog djeteta" dijeli neispričane priče koje odaju složene posljedice ove politike i izlaže zastrašujuću moć promidžbe.
