New Jersey State Museum Presents Screening of "Hard to Believe"

(TRENTON, NJ) -- The New Jersey State Museum presents a private screening of Hard to Believe on Saturday, October 15 at 4:00pm in its auditorium, followed by a Q&A expert panel discussion.  This award-winning documentary was produced by Swoop Films and directed by Emmy Award-winning director, Ken Stone. The hour-long film exposes the widespread Chinese government practice of executing political prisoners and selling their organs to “transplant tourists.”

Hard to Believe is a serious investigation into one of the most horrifying human rights abuses of our time. The murder of prisoners of conscience in China and the sale of their organs to foreign patients, comes to life through personal stories, including an author’s 7-year investigation and a surgeon’s confession.

Investigators estimate that up to 10,000 prisoners of conscience have been killed annually for the sale of their organs since 2001, when China’s prison population exploded after the Chinese Communist Party began persecuting any citizen practicing the Falun Gong spiritual discipline.

Leading U.S. ethicist and Founding Director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU, Arthur Caplan, PhD. says the film, Hard to Believe, is "an important, timely, and deeply disturbing account of one of the great human rights abuses of our time."

Following the screening is a Q&A expert panel discussion with Matthew Robertson, China News Editor, The Epoch Times, Interviewee in Hard to Believe; Dr. Jessica Russo, Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH); Kay Rubacek, Film Producer, Swoop Films; and Yingqin Guan, Former Prisoner of Conscience and Labor Camp Survivor.
