The Market

The Market focuses on a young mother in Chennai, India, who faces the dire choice of selling her kidney to alleviate her family's overwhelming debts. This decision would make her the fifth family member to engage in such a transaction, highlighting the extreme economic pressures in her life.

In contrast, the film also follows Sandra, a single mother from Nanaimo, Canada, whose kidneys are failing. After five years on a waiting list, her struggle underscores the disparity in access to healthcare and organ transplants. The documentary not only contrasts their journeys but also sheds light on the broader issues of organ trafficking and the human cost behind it.
