Thousands of people from Georgia in Eastern Europe have found out that they were stolen from their parents at birth and sold. It’s believed the black market in baby trafficking operated for decades from the late 1970s up to the mid-2000s. We speak with BBC journalists and documentary makers Fay Nurse and Woody Morris.

You can watch the full documentary, Betrayal at birth: Georgia’s Stolen Children, on the BBC World Service YouTube channel.
