Event Details
When a woman in Oregon discovers an SOS note stashed in a box of Halloween decorations from Kmart, she never imagines it will lead to the closure of China’s barbaric labour camp system. Her story goes viral, and the letter-writer, Sun Yi, a former Chinese prisoner who had been jailed for his spiritual beliefs, fears for his life and his family’s safety. Determined to continue exposing the injustice occurring in China, he decides to make a film to tell his story.
Letter from Masanjia offers a rare look inside China’s terrifying police state through the lens of a prisoner of conscience as he revisits his torturous past, and is hotly pursued by authorities. Following a true modern hero who won’t stop until he brings the truth to light, this nail-biting documentary reveals what happens when a few good citizens go up against a totalitarian regime.
