Amazing story but very low exposure

This is exactly why two million Hong Kongers are willing to spend their time to protest against China suppression on their freedom of democracy.

As I don't intend to give out any spoilers, all I can say is that this movie is go gut-wrenching in that it makes you wanna join the Hong Kongers to protest against China's oppression although you are not a Hong Konger.

This true story is just so well made and really make you think twice about supporting products 'Made in China'....

This documentary is deserving of more exposure and hopefully some famous person will take note and expose this documentary to a broader audience.

A brave story, bravely made

A cogent yet unhurried story of a smart and gentle man withstanding the unscrupulous horror of the Chinese government's relentless crackdown on free thinkers.

Such a must-see movie!

Letter from Masanjia has the most depressing epilogue text you will ever read. Utterly heartbreaking, devastating, a former prisoner of Chinese labour camp, sets out to make a film that will expose his country's inhumane practices. Sun Yi - a quiet hero.

Very touching!

I just watched this documentary this afternoon in Pasadena. Very touching! 👏 I highly recommend it to everyone. When he was long time tortured, he kept encouraging himself: I am still breathing, so why I give in? He defend his belief to traditional values with his life. Salute to hero Sun Yi, his family and all anonymous contributors.

A MUST see!

Amazing doc. Such a touching story of never giving up on what you believe in. Such a very important issue which the whole world should know about. Thank you Leon Lee for your bravery in putting this film together.
