FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (March 18th 2013) Already the winner of five international film festivals, Free China: The Courage to Believe, the controversial film that the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t want you to see, will have Private screenings at Birckbeck College on Monday 18th March, LSE on Wednesday 20th March 2013 and Thursday 21st March 2013 at Imperial College London. Following the screenings will be Q&A with the producer and guest panelists.
Directed by Michael Perlman of Tibet: Beyond Fear, and co-produced with NTD Television, Free China examines the widespread human rights violations inside China through the remarkable stories of best-selling author Jennifer Zeng, a mother and former Communist Party member, and Dr. Charles Lee, an American Chinese businessman. Both Jennifer and Charles were, along with hundreds of thousands of peaceful citizens in China who continue to be, tortured and subjected to slave labor for their spiritual beliefs in the Falun Gong meditation practice.
Covering issues ranging from forced abortions, to live organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience, this timely film sheds light on how anti-censorship internet technologies and a re-emergence of traditional values is bringing about a Free China.
