Le Commerce du Sang : Quand le Plasma Vaut Plus que l’Or | Documentaire Français

The Blood Trade: When Plasma Is Worth More Than Gold | French Documentary Plasma, a highly sought-after component of blood, now costs more per liter than gasoline. Used by pharmaceutical companies to manufacture expensive drugs, this precious liquid has become an extremely lucrative commodity. The film investigates one of the largest companies in this booming market, whose profits exceed one billion euros. Their blood donation centers are located primarily in poor neighborhoods across the United States, where donors are paid for their blood—a practice banned in Europe. For many Americans living in poverty, donating blood has become a source of income—at the cost of their health, as many lie about their condition and donate repeatedly to survive. Others donate in the hope of helping others—but the reality of where their donations end up is sometimes quite different. We investigate the global blood and plasma trade. #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #blood ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe to the Free Documentary French channel for free: https://bit.ly/4bLSd0x ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary French is dedicated to bringing you high-quality French-language documentaries on YouTube for free, using the latest camera equipment used by renowned filmmakers working for renowned production studios.
