The main purpose of this movie is to show how great the Falun Gong is and how the CCP regime suppresses it with extreme prejudice. Falun Gong is nothing but another form of Tai Chi (a somehow being exaggerated as a Chinese Kong Fu), an exercise for your body and spiritual health, yet it boasts itself as a philosophy, a faith, even a belief, similar to Buddhism, Christianity, Catholicism and adding some more ingredients of the Chinese traditional Taoism and Confucianism, a some kind of ISM, asking the people who BELIEVE it to be TRUE, GOODWILL, and most of all, Tolerate/Endurance/Persistence/Patience. Since more and more Chinese people who accept it and get together to practice the movements and gestures as Tai Chi in large groups, a common daily assemblies everywhere in China, which cannot be accepted or tolerated by the Chinese Communist Party, it has been tagged as a potential threat to the regime. So it was harshly forbidden, prohibited and suppressed. The aftermath is many believers are killed, jailed even mentally destroyed by CCP.
This made-in-Taiwan Anti CCP movie is sponsored by Falun Gong members who escaped abroad to all the free countries and Taiwan. But the screenplay, the directing and the acting are just too awkward and too painful to watch, albeit pretentious and self-pity. I've tried my best to watch it since so many people gave high rating and praises, but sorry, NO CAN DO. It's just too shallow and primitive in all forms that I simply cannot swallow.
