This whole documentary is heartbreaking. But Brizzi's story (starting at around 9:30 in the video) made me cry. First her American buyers abandon her to live as a stateless ghost in Ukraine (Ukraine doesn't have birthright citizenship). And then the orphanage doesn't let her remain close to Marina (the woman who has loved her the longest)
Brizzi's story still haunts me years after I watched this documentary. I still wonder how she's doing sometimes. And I hope Marina found some way to remain in contact with her.
I also hope that there's a hell so that the rich Americans who intentionally created her just to doom her to this fate can roast in it!
At 21:30, the journalist contacts the assholes who abandoned Brizzi. But, of course, the cowards have nothing to say. They left their (presumably) biological daughter to rot in a place where she cannot even get proper citizenship. All because she had the audacity to be born disabled. Even though they could have afforded top of the line care for her. Surrogacy is bad enough. But to intentionally create a baby just to abandon her in a third world orphanage if she doesn't turn out "perfect"? Pure evil
This circle is for videos relating to anything and everything feminist or women-centered. Content creators themselves don't necessarily have to identify as feminist, but the content of the video must be broadly perceived to be feminist. Videos by male content creators or declared antifeminist content creators will be held to higher standards and may be removed at the discretion of the moderators to maintain the pro feminist intention of the circle.
Rules:
Relevance: Women's issues should be the primary focus. (videos about animals, diet related issues, etc. will be removed even if they involve gender)
Formatting: Do not change the title of linked videos. If you would like to provide some commentary on the video and/or why you posted it, please do so in a comment.
Promoting Infighting or Drama: Do not start or perpetuate infighting or drama. Disagreements must be civil and must be about the CONTENT of the video, not about the poster, other commenters, the site, etc.

It really is. For the abandoned children. For the abused gestational mothers. Just all round heartbreaking.
