Three Mothers, Two Babies and a Scandal

This three-part docuseries hears from three of the women at the heart of an internet baby adoption scandal, speaking together for the very first time. At the turn of the millennium, a news story exploded on both sides of the Atlantic.

It was the early days of the internet, and a Welsh couple – Judith and Alan Kilshaw – paid $12,000 to adopt twin baby girls from a young American mother, Tranda – but global outrage ensued.

The Kilshaws stood accused of buying the babies online and the new World Wide Web appeared to facilitate a global baby trade. But in a shocking twist, a second couple emerged – the Allens, from California – who claimed the twins had been kidnapped from their home.

The People We Hate at the Wedding

The film follows struggling American siblings Alice (Kristen Bell) and Paul (Ben Platt), who reluctantly agree to attend the wedding of their estranged, wealthy half-sister (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) in the English countryside. Over the course of the wedding week, the family’s many skeletons are wrenched from the closet, and the unlikely reunion gives everyone the motivation to move their own lives forward.
