Scope and content

Directed by David Paperny, Transplant Tourism (2003) follows Canadians with kidney disease who grapple with the life-and-death decision to buy an organ on the black market and address the provocative and ethical issues surrounding the organ trade. The sixty-minute documentary travels to Turkey and the Philippines to interview kidney sellers and brokers. In North America, doctors and ethicists express their conflicting views, some firmly against the trade and others in support of regulating it. Individuals interviewed include Globe & Mail columnist and immigration expert Marina Jimenez, Dr. Ona of the Kidney Institute, Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Professor of Medical Anthropology at the University of California, and Dr. David Landsberg, Director of Renal Transplantation at St. Paul's Hospital. Saul Rubinek narrates the documentary. In 2004, it received two nominations at the Leo Awards, including a nomination to David Paperny and Dan Schlanger for Best Documentary Program or series, and a nomination to David Paperny, Marina Jimenez and Ian Gill for Best Screen Writer - Documentary Program or series.

Series consists of a digital master tape, a set of video and audio elements and textual material relating to the development of the production.
