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.

This movie is well worth watching. It depicts two true-life stories, with concise, poignant and moving story lines. Everything is real, exposing issues still being covered up by the regime, which had previously not been revealed to the world. The emotional and mental damage inflicted during the persecution was something most people outside China found unimaginable.As there are so many Chinese descents outside of China, this makes the movie even more relevant.It is now an Oscar contender for documentary, score and song, which I applaud. With its exposition of deeply questionable ethics of a trusted section of society, the movie should influence and affect many an audience worldwide.

I saw this documentary several times. I recommend for all people in this planet. Can a film change our world? Yes, definitely can. This is a truth story about strong believe and it shows for what is happening in China with the people who has believe in good and in the truthfulness, compassion, tolerance. It shows the true story about what is doing CCP actually. In this documentary, we can see that ...to be good is important, to believe ...is important and truthfulness, compassion, tolerance is important...what is really important in our life. I hope this movie will change our world. Can you change our world? What if we told you We now have the technology To bring Freedom To over a billion people... And The Time Is NOW... Take action. 1.
