Mothers. The one-child policy in China

This documentary follows a group of workers of a birth control center in a small town in China who have to push women of the area to go through mandatory sterilization so that they can fill a government-imposed quota. 

But the game of cat and mouse that these workers play with the women in order to fill their quota is as chilling as it is bizzarre.
