Film Festival 2023
In 2002, members of the persecuted Chinese spiritual group Falun Gong staged a hijacking of China’s state TV network. Twenty years later, the exiles lucky enough to escape the regime's brutal crackdown reflect on their daring heist – recreated in stunning animation – in this thoughtful documentary that pulses with the heartbeat of a thriller.
