FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (NEW YORK, NY - September 11th, 2012) Already the winner of four international film festivals, Free China: The Courage to Believe will be screened at the LA Indie Film Festival on Wednesday September 12th 9pm at the Los Feliz 3 Cinemas. Following the screening will be Q&A with Kean Wong, the producer of the film and Greg Autry, co-author of Death by China, a book and recently released film that highlights the increasingly destructive trade relationship with the rapidly rising China.
Directed by Michael Perlman of Tibet: Beyond Fear, and co-produced with NTD Television, Free China examines the widespread human rights violation inside China - from forced abortions to live organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience - 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 along with hundreds of thousands of peaceful citizens in China, were tortured and subjected to slave labor for their spiritual beliefs in the Falun Gong meditation practice.
With the China trade policy a key issue raised by both U.S. presidential candidates, this timely film sheds light on how anti-censorship internet technologies and a re-emergence of traditional values is bringing about a new China...a China that not only will benefit the US and the rest of the world but one free from the legacy of the most brutal dictatorship in history.
Karen Curry, former CNN New York Bureau Chief, praised the film as "Intensely compelling...extraordinary."
Margaret Chew Barringer, American Insight & Free Speech Film Festival founder, also remarked, "I hope this film changes our world."
"Death by China identifies a lot of the problems... Free China shows the way to a more democratic and peaceful regime...where everybody wins instead of the Communist Party." Peter Navarro, Co-Author and Producer/Director of "Death by China"
