Ric Bienstock's Tales From the Organ Trade has won the Best Sign of the Times award at New Zealand's Documentary Edge Festival 2013. It has also received two nominations for awards at Milano International Film Festival 2013: Best Documentary, and Best Music/Song for John Welsman's score.
The film investigates the black market in organ trafficking and ultimately leaves the viewer with the question: should people be allowed to sell their organs?
Tales From the Organ Trade has its North American premiere Sunday April 28th at Hot Docs 2013 in Toronto.
