The legal system in Russia is poorly equipped to handle child welfare cases, and as a result bureaucratic decisions aren't always made with children's best interests at heart. This documentary tells stories of families where children are separated from their parents and had to fight to get them back. Parents and relatives accuse the guardianship authorities of bias, corruption and the illegal removal of children and are fighting to save the family. Why has this problem become widespread? Who profits from putting children in foster care at the drop of a hat? The answers might surprise you.
