BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Julia Bumblebee I've heard of things happening in China from the news, from friends telling me and friends of friends who have experienced these... but this documentary made the one child policy, the torture going on in prisons, and how people still try to make a difference and stand up against the unfair system - reality for me. I found it difficult to watch the part where the man came back to China to try to get the message of the situation out to the population, risking his safety (and life, to be fair). It's sad that people have to resort to such means, since there's no way to appeal through the system, to make your opinion heard if it doesn't correlate to guidelines, and to raise any issues that the system doesn't want to know about.It's very different to how we know life in the west. So would recommend this docu to anyone who is interested in the current China to watch it and be informed and make their own opinion of the situation. Because not everything we hear through mainstream about China are the only thing happening there.

mimosquito13 This film tells the true story of two incredibly brave individuals who overcame countless hardships from persecution in China: both Jennifer and Charles practice Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa), a meditation practice for mind and body and with guiding principles truthfulness-compassion-forbearance, practiced around the world. This meditation practice became incredibly popular in China in the 1990s, but in 1999 the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) changed from endorsing the practice to banning it. Through detailing the hardships that Jennifer and Charles faced, the film explores widespread current issues in China: lack of freedom of speech, state corruption, slave labour, corporate ethical misconduct, internet censorship, organ harvesting, and more. This film is incredibly genius in the way it is able to transform what is seemingly an ordinary documentary and personal tales into an incredibly moving tale of courage amidst great oppression and reflects a grand battle of good against evil today: the widespread persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. This is the largest persecution in the world and is becoming what's referred to as the Hidden Holocaust of the 21st century. The film inspires a quality that I can best describe as: be brave amidst fearful times, have courage to believe and let nothing compromise what you believe is good. It's such an amazing film. I've seen it four times and am still very moved by the courage of the individuals in the film. PS: the 1 to 2-star reviews on IMDb reflect the efforts of the CCP (they pay individuals to do write bad reviews) in trying to deter people from watching the film. Don't believe it and see the film to decide for yourself what is good and what is evil. You'll be not only moved to tears, but also grateful and impressed by the courage and immense effort that's been taken to create such a wonderful film. This film won the 2012 International Film Festival Free Speech Award.

diana-chen10 The Courage to Believe:Falun Gong's Cultic and Political Agitprop! How Falun Gong looks at arts? The founder of Falun Gong-Li Hongzhi says that arts are degenerating into a tool for the venting of demon nature."Since mankind's values are still sliding down, at present, the arts are now becoming real and concrete displays of mankind's demon nature. The arts are becoming a blasphemy of the sacred arts, they have completely become a tool for the venting of demon nature, and what they portray are demons, ghosts, and monsters." (Teaching the Fa at the Discussion on Creating Fine Art) Li Hongzhi also claims that modern arts damage people's moral values so they are "all harmful garbage." "They hang up a so-called modernistic piece and show it to people…In reality those things are all garbage that's harmful to people." (Teaching the Fa at the Discussion on Creating Fine Art)

gairui2013 When i was watching the movie,i was very angry.It is full of lies and twist the fact.We recognize that China's legal system is not perfect,But we always been working hard.Treatment of Falun Gong, our policy is focus on education.I have had conversations with some of the staff,they said they talked with the Falun Gong practitioners every day.They told the reason of why Falun Gong is not a religion .Let them wrote down their experiences，in order to grasp their mental condition.Everyone is absolutely jailed for humanitarian protectionist，Absolutely no violence， no "huozhai".Falun Gong is a cult in the world 。If only one religion，"Tian an" Square self-immolation incident and many Falun Gong practitioners Suicides are not occur.Cherish life, away from the cult
