Harvesting the Blood of America’s Poor: Big Pharma's Blood Plasma Business | Documentary

Why is blood worth more than oil? For impoverished Americans, blood donations have become a source of income - presenting a real risk to their health, as they lie about their health conditions and donate repeatedly to make ends meet.

Plasma, a component of blood that is highly sought-after, now costs more liter per liter than petrol. Used by pharmaceutical companies to create expensive medications, this precious liquid has become a lucrative commodity.

The film investigates one of the largest corporations in this flourishing market, with profits soaring over a billion euros. Their donation centers are mostly found in poor neighborhoods in the U.S., and they pay donors for their blood, a practice forbidden in Europe.

Other donors give their blood in the hope of helping others- but the reality of where their donations actually go can be somewhat different. We investigate the global trade in blood and plasma donations.

He defended his decision, emphasizing his role as a senator for all Pennsylvanians, not just those within his party. “If the president-elect invites me to talk, I’ll show up,” he said. “You don’t get to pick and choose who you work with in this job.” His remarks have drawn praise from some for their pragmatism but have raised eyebrows among Democratic colleagues who are wary of Trump’s divisive political history....
