Blood Business Uncovered: Preying On The Poor? | Witness | Blood Donation Documentary – Everything Law and Order Blog

Plasma, a component of blood that is highly sought-after, now costs more liter per liter than petrol. Used by pharmaceutical companies to create expensive medications, this precious liquid has become a lucrative commodity.

The film investigates one of the largest corporations in this flourishing market, with profits soaring over a billion euros. Their donation centres are mostly found in poor neighbourhoods in the U.S., and they pay donors for their blood, a practice forbidden in Europe.

For impoverished Americans, blood donations have become a source of income- presenting a real risk to their health, as they lie about their health conditions and donate repeatedly to make ends meet.

Other donors give their blood in the hope of helping others- but the reality of where their donations actually go can be somewhat different. We investigate the global trade in blood and plasma donations.

This documentary was produced by POINT PROD and directed by MARIE MAURISSE, FRANÇOIS PILET, PIERRE MONNARD. It was first released in 2017.
