Children of Shanghai

A moving film that highlights a truly worthy cause. The world needs more people like Robert and hopefully this documentary will help bring these services to more children in need.

Loved this film! I felt it beautifully showed the change of the last 20 years, and the growing hope for children without families in China and around the world.

A powerful story of possibility. When I was living and working in Shanghai in 2013, a colleague once erroneously told me "no one can influence the Chinese Government". This film is a testament to the fact that integrity, vision, and genuine care are felt across cultural divides and societal hierarchies. At times it is astonishing how the ideas of a westerner were believed, yet it is entirely believable, because why would it not make sense that children need love? It is also a story of how we can listen to our hearts, and be led us to be in the places at the times when we can be of most help. Powerful lessons in life and loving kindness.

Would highly recommend this to anyone! Such a moving documentary with an inspiring story. It just shows the impact a person's decisions can make when it isn't about them. So nice to watch something uplifting for a change.

Very, very moving and maybe there is hope for those that might get left behind China's "Common Prosperity". Make sure you have a box of tissue nearby.
