该片将目光聚焦在有36年历史的计划生育政策。从1979年到2016年，这项政策影响了超过10亿女人、家庭和孩子。 影片的联合总监王男栿（Nanfu Wang，音译）是生活在美国的一名母亲。她用个人的视角来提出问题：这些未出生的孩子怎么样了？那些失去生育权利的女人们是什么感觉？ 影片还曝光了因为该政策而引发的腐败问题，贩卖人口的网络也从中收益。 王男栿采访的人中，有的人就对曾经参与实施计划生育而感到悔恨，他们现在意识到，这样的举动会有怎样深远的消极影响。

Two families fight for justice from within the digital prison of the Chinese surveillance state.
在监控之国的中国的数字监狱中，两个家庭为正义而战。
The digital possibilities of social control in China have led to an unprecedented level of state surveillance. Through self-censorship or spying on neighbors, surveillance covers not only those perceived as a threat by the government, but increasingly and ever more totally the ordinary citizen: whether buying flowers, taking your child to school, or taking out the trash at night. Big Data and digital technologies are already being used as weapons to curtail freedoms. Step by step, the social and political behavior of the Chinese is changing. With the documentary film "Total Trust", Chinese filmmaker Jialing Zhang, who lives in the USA, succeeds in providing an exclusive and previously never possible intimate insight into the interior of China. She tells a deeply disturbing story about technology, (self-)censorship and abuse of power.
