Children of Shanghai

This documentary explores the efforts of Robert Glover, a British former footballer, who, along with his family, made a significant impact in Shanghai starting in 1998. Glover's initiative helped persuade the Chinese government to transition a million children from orphanages into foster care, changing lives in the process.

Children of Shanghai features the stories of the first families who opened their homes to these orphans, showcasing the transformations of many of these children into successful young professionals. The film also highlights the unique experience of the Glover family, who raised six children in a culture traditionally focused on one-child families. This documentary provides a profound look at social change and family dynamics in modern China.
