Why Making This Film?
The persecution of Falun Gong is probably the biggest human rights persecution in contemporary China under the communist regime, involving tens of millions of people who have been suppressed for their peaceful beliefs. Countless families have been broken. Many many children have lost their parents. We made this film to bring attention to this issue, especially to the children of Falun Gong families who have become orphans.
We also want to explore how, under the harsh communist ruling, people are able to keep their conscience and faith despite the hardships.
In addition, the life stories of Fuyao and her mother give us a deep impression of the optimism people with faith have, their tolerance and kindness to others, even those who hurt them, and their wisdom in dealing with parent-child relationships and educating adolescent children during this special time. These are the things we want to share with the audience.
