LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Oct 11, 2021–

Tv’s Squid Recreation’s portrayal of a black marketplace for organ donations and transplants just isn’t solely false however “can price lives and do long-lasting harm,” says the trade’s foremost watchdog on leisure’s portrayal of a really critical healthcare subject.

This press launch options multimedia. View the complete launch right here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20211011005097/en/

“Fantasy-based storylines could also be dramatic, however they do irrevocable harm as a result of many individuals are inclined to imagine what they see on TV,” says Tenaya Wallace, founder and director of Donate Life Hollywood, a undertaking of the OneLegacy Basis. “That is very true with organ donation as a result of in contrast to many different issues individuals see on TV most individuals don’t have a private expertise with donation or transplants to counter the falsehoods being unfold.”

The latest instance is Netflix’s Squid Recreation, a Korean-production that’s primary in 90 international locations. A subplot depicts a black marketplace for organs organized by the guards. “The type of black market Hollywood has invented, and that we see performed out in Squid Recreation, is pure fiction,” says Wallace. “The method of matching donated organs to ready recipients is so advanced that it takes 57 organ procurement organizations working with a whole lot of transplant facilities nationwide and coordinated by an enormous database of medical identifiers, together with top, weight, blood kind and genetic code. You’ll be able to’t put any kidney into one other individual and anticipate them to outlive, which is what make these Hollywood storylines so absurd.”

Not solely do the myth-based storylines not bear any resemblance to fact, however they’ve additionally been proven to price lives. Analysis reveals that when Hollywood makes donation and transplant appear scary and perpetuates long-standing myths, it retains non-donors from signing up, which in the end prices lives. At present greater than 107,000 People are ready for a donor and the necessity for transplants is rising far quicker than potential donors as lower than 1% of all deaths qualify for donation. That makes correct storytelling extra vital than ever.

Happily, says Wallace, there are occasions that Hollywood will get it proper. Hospital Playlist, one other Korean manufacturing additionally airing on Netflix, had two constructive and lifelike organ donation storylines in 2021. The Sanggi Organ Donation Motion credit the present with rising the variety of individuals registering as a donor by 11 instances the traditional price after the episodes aired and articles have dubbed this “The Hospital Playlist Impact.”

So too, there are different reveals which have additionally made a constructive impression on donation. Throughout Nationwide Kidney Month in March 2021 the CBS primetime present B Optimistic aired a 10 second PSA about residing kidney donation. This led to 21,000 individuals searching for extra details about residing donation and 4 individuals beginning the method of turning into a residing donor. In 2009 DLH served as a proper advisor to the CBS transplant drama Three Rivers steering them away from inaccuracies and myths, which led to a 6% improve within the public’s willingness to register as a donor in a single 12 months. The movie 2Hearts airing on Netflix relies on a real-life donation and transplant story and has impressed hundreds of TikTok movies reacting to the heartfelt storyline.

“Hollywood likes to put our trigger within the horror and sci-fi style, however we actually belong in any storyline that wants a dose of hope and inspiration,” says Tom Mone, CEO of the OneLegacy Basis, which oversees the Donate Life Hollywood undertaking. “Trying on the distinction between Squid Recreation and Hospital Playlist we will see that Hollywood has a transparent alternative: maintain scaring individuals with fictional plots or truly present individuals how donation works. The second alternative clearly saves lives and since there’s a scarcity, we actually want Hollywood’s assist to save lots of lives.”

Donate Life Hollywood serves as a liaison between the organ donation group and the leisure trade to encourage extra genuine and empowering tales on this vital subject. It’s an initiative of the OneLegacy Basis, the schooling, analysis and help arm of OneLegacy, the nonprofit federally designated organ procurement group based mostly within the coronary heart of Hollywood and serving seven counties in Southern California. DLH is additional supported by OPOs, transplant facilities and affected person teams across the nation.
