” Each year, tens of thousands of girls are abandoned across China as a result of the nation’s one child policy, which was enacted in 1979. These young girls are often adopted by couples locally or from other countries, including Canada. Exploring the impact of international and local adoption in China, The Invisible Red Thread – the original OMNI Television, one-hour documentary – compares and contrasts the upbringing of two girls who were adopted because of the policy in the mid-1990s.” full story

The Invisible Red Thread is made possible with 100% funding from the OMNI Television Independent Producers Initiative. The $32.5 million fund is a seven-year commitment created and made available for the independent production of third-language ethnocultural programming. The fund is not only dedicated to helping Canadian independent producers tell their stories in their language of comfort, but also to make sure that these stories are accessible to other ethnocultural communities through re-versioning in different languages. This is the industry’s first, and only, major source of funding for the independent production of non-official language programming. More details on the fund are at OMNI Television’s website
