Summary note

The CNN Freedom Project first exposed the horrific practice of organ trafficking in Egypt, with the documentary "Death in the Desert." Now we travel to South Asia, to a tiny district in Nepal where hundreds of people have had their kidneys stolen by organ traffickers. The problem has become so widespread, the district has developed the unfortunate reputation as "the kidney bank of Nepal." CNN's Delhi-based correspondent Sumnima Udas leads the investigation to unravel how traffickers dupe poor villagers into giving a piece of themselves away.
