Brownstone Greater Boston Supper Club, Tuesday, June 2nd, with Jan Jekielek 

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:30pm – 9:00pm

Wilmington, MA

Please join us for an evening of lively conversation, intriguing speakers, and fun! This month we are pleased to welcome Jan Jekielek.

About the Speaker

Jan Jekielek is a NYT bestselling author and award winning journalist and filmmaker. He has worked with The Epoch Times for over 20 years, most recently as senior editor and host of the show American Thought Leaders.

Years ago Jan was studying the evolutionary biology of lemurs in Madagascar, when his life took an unexpected turn. Exposed to the realities of human rights violations in China, he started working with an underground railroad helping Chinese dissidents escape through the Golden Triangle to Thailand and ultimately to Western countries. It was then that he realized that telling unknown heroes’ stories was transformative, both for him and his readers.

Determined to tell true stories, Jan started working with The Epoch Times at a time when popular narratives in the West hid the dark underbelly of communist China. He did some of the earliest reporting on the Chinese regime’s continuing practice of forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience.

Over the last seven years, Jan has interviewed nearly a thousand thought leaders on camera, including heads of state, U.S. cabinet secretaries and agency heads, and congressional members. 

Jan specializes in long-form content that tackles the grand narratives of our time. As a filmmaker, he has produced DeSantis: Florida vs. Lockdowns, The Unseen Crisis: Vaccine Stories You Were Never Told, and the ‘optimistic’ Holocaust documentary Finding Manny.

He is the author of the NYT bestselling book, Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America’s Biggest Adversary.

About the Talk

In China, wait times for life-saving organ transplants aren’t measured in years or months—but in weeks, sometimes even days.  Evidence shows that many of these organs are not from voluntary donors at all, but instead imprisoned prisoners of conscience, mostly practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual discipline and increasingly, Uyghur Muslims. This is the story of how a totalitarian, communist system can turn medicine into murder—where consent is absent, human beings are treated as inventory, and surgery is scheduled around execution. 

Even more disquieting is the way this underlying logic of utilitarian bioethics—taken to an extreme in China—is spreading to the West.  In Canada, for example, the rapid expansion of euthanasia under the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) regime has been accompanied by a steady rise in organ procurement from MAiD patients, prompting serious concern that vulnerable individuals may be subtly pressured toward euthanasia and subsequent organ donation.
