Children of Shanghai

★ 10.0 2021 1h 0m HD

Bear Grylls narrates the story of the first foster children in China's 3,000-year history. British former footballer Robert Glover moved to Shanghai with his wife and six young children in 1998 and persuaded the Chinese government to move a million children out of orphanages and into foster families. The documentary films the very first families and the orphans, many of whom are now successful young professionals. It also tells the story of the Glovers, a six-child family in a nation of one-child families.
