Winner of 2018 Audience Favourite, Canadian Documentary Feature

Director Leon Lee will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A on September 22 and 23. 

After purchasing Halloween decorations that contained a hidden distressing letter from a Chinese political prisoner, an Oregon woman attracts the world’s attention to a harrowing story of human rights abuses in forced labour camps. The author of the letter, Sun Yi, continues to risk his life as the story unfolds, providing hidden camera footage and damning details for the world to witness.

Peabody Award-winning director Leon Lee highlights the horrific circumstances of China’s labour camps through Sun Yi’s courageous voice. Pursued by authorities, his only motivation is justice, and ultimately large-scale reform of a poisoned political system.
