Deep gratitude to all of our community organizations for the work that they lead. Special thanks to Asian American Documentary Network and Firecracker Run for their help in promoting this program.
An artist’s sculpture is burnt down, a protester is charged with a criminal case, and a democracy movement is violently attacked. In the United States, three Chinese dissidents fight for democracy against a superpower through art, petition, and grassroots organizing, but not even exile is safe.
