The Baby Black Market (Le berceau des anges : le documentaire)

$ 1,800 to $ 15,000. This is the price paid for Quebec-born babies from “unwed mothers” in the 50s. At the time, more than 1 000 newborns were sold here and abroad. A clandestine traffic estimated between 3 and 5 million. The Baby Black Market (Le berceau des anges : le documentaire) is a shocking and touching documentary relating the historical context of that period and explaining how secrecy and lies allowed the development of a sordid trade. Witnesses of that time were traced, babies of this black market, which are now in their sixties. They tell their stories.
