IMDb profile

The Dying Rooms is a 1995 television documentary film about Chinese state orphanages. It was directed by Kate Blewett and Brian Woods and produced by Lauderdale Productions.

[edit] Plot and Production

The film was produced over the course of two years. Kate Blewett, Brian Woods and Peter Woolrich all pretended to work in the orphanages that would be the focus of the film. They found evidence that very young children were deliberately neglected and allowed to die in agonizing ways. The three naturally became distressed, but nonetheless completed the film.

[edit] Reception

The Dying Rooms was televised in 26 nations and prompted an enormous outcry. In 1996 it won the Peabody award.
