The award-winning film “Unsilenced” is playing on the big screen in 30 cities across the United States.
Posting on Twitter, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the film is “a moving, honest, scathing indictment of the CCP,” or Chinese Communist Party.
He adds “The truth of Xi & his predecessors’ utter depravity & the power-driven horrors they’ve inflicted cannot be denied. This movie unsilences the wonderful Chinese people, go see it.”
The film is based on a true story.
The protagonist is Wang, a student at a top Chinese university. Wang practices Falun Gong—a meditation practice that follows the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
But Wang’s life was turned upside down overnight when Beijing launched a persecution campaign against Falun Gong in 1999.
The regime later stepped up the campaign—churning out propaganda to defame the tens of millions of Falun Gong practitioners.
Now, Wang meets Daniel, a jaded, cynical American reporter. Together, they risked their lives to expose Beijing’s deadly propaganda.
Unsilenced is in select theaters until Feb. 3, including in New York, Washington, D.C., and California.
