From DW Documentary.

From the late 1960s onwards, thousands of Bangladeshi children were adopted abroad in the hope of a better future. But behind this humanitarian façade lay a web of trafficking, deception, and lost identities. DW uncovers the heartbreaking truth of stolen pasts and follows two adoptees living in the Netherlands as they search for their birth families.
