A shocking exposé of the persecution of the Falun Gong movement in China, notorious because of the attempts made by the Chinese government to get the film’s broadcast banned by the CBC. Here, the film is shown in its uncensored version. Over 200,000 believers in the Falun Gong have been sent to Chinese jails, many brutally tortured, and at least 2500 killed. The film includes testimony from survivors such as Kunlan Zhang, the Canadian artist who spent three years in a Chinese labour camp, never-seen-before underground footage smuggled out of China, and impassioned analysis from US Congressmen and Canadian M.P’s, including David Kilgour, whose report alleges that thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have had their corneas, kidneys and livers forcibly removed for sale by Chinese authorities.
