I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Brilliant film sharing the truth. Very moving. Personally I feel everyone should see this film. It tells about a horrific crime where innocent people are been destroyed by one nations government. A practice "Falun Dafa" practiced in over 40 countries where people see benefits that change their lives to a better. Teaching people to be good by following the principals of Truth Compassion and Tolerance. Practiced freely in ever other country, victimised and destroyed in only one "China". How can we Westerners sit back and watch a nation destroy itself, torture innocent people trying to follow their faith. Please share the film with everyone. Let the world know about the evil CCP. You will see in the film where even the party was initially promoting the practice airing its benefits until the number practicing Falun Gong in China outnumbered that of the CCP members. Clearly this shows how the party became scared of the practice and the destroying of such become apparent. Take the time to share the film let people know the truth.

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)

the film was so touching. It tells a true story about modern China. A story about persecuted Falun Gong practitioners who follow the 3 principles: truthfulness, compassion and tolerence. The film let the world know about the evil side of China covered by their second largest world economy stuff. I believe this film will shock the world by letting people know about a fake China. A government always tells lie A government treats their people like dirt Chinese people should know about this, know about the truth that they are living in country where all they receive is a big lie from their government. If you like the film, rate for it. For human right and for a free china

I really don't understand what kind of free China this film intend to show. The film is focused on the right of Falun Gong, which appears to be persecuted. However, do people know that this group or belief is actually the killer, which often causes followers to commit suicide or kill others. Obsessed Falun Gong practitioners have their own interpretation of suicide and killing which are totally different from that of "the ordinary people," and to make things worse, they put their idea into actions. In 1998, Ma Jianmin, a retired worker at the age of 54 in Hebei province, killed himself with scissors in order to seek for the wheel of law which Li Hongzhi claimed was installed in the abdomen of each Falun Gong practitioner. On January 23, 2001, the New Year's Eve, seven Falun Gong practitioners, including a 12-year-old girl among the five females, burnt themselves at Tiananmen Square, which caused one female to die on the spot. One month later, her 12-year-old daughter Liu Siying also died of serious burn complication. In April 2004, eight-year-old Dai Nan was regarded as a demon and was choked to death before over 40 Falun Gong practitioners by her mother Guan Shuyun from Yichun City of Heilongjiang Province. Incomplete statistics show that before July 22, 1999, the day the Chinese government banned Falun Gong according to law, over 1,400 people died of practicing Falun Gong, among which, 136 people committed suicide and many innocent people were killed by Falun Gong practitioners. Then, why do some people, who used to be normal, choose to commit suicide or kill others after they have practiced Falun Gong for a certain period of time? That's because the founder of Falun Gong, Li Hongzhi claims that the human beings, who belong to the "Earth garbage dump," should all be disposed of and be eliminated because human morals have been declining seriously. Li Hongzhi encourages his followers to take off "human skins" and let go off all worldly attachments; then their master souls would go to Paradise with Consummation. Bewitched by his remarks, Falun Gong practitioners do not regard human being as the Lord of creation any more. Instead, they deem themselves the "vile people" who have committed monstrous crimes in previous life or, the "garbage" on Earth which should be destroyed completely. So for them, to run away from this "garbage dump" is the priority and there is no point in cherishing human life. The reason they burn themselves, jump off buildings or jump into rivers is that by doing so they could "flee the Earth and avoid being eliminated." I want to ask the producer of this film and every person in this world, if a free China means you can freely kill lives, who wants it?
