I went into the documentary for the politics. I was blindsided by the love and courage of Sun Yi had for his family, the guards who tortured him, his fellow countrymen who were also being persecuted by the government, and also with the courage and persistence of Julie Keith who didn't give up. I don't think I ever cried so hard in a film. No one should have to suffer like Sun Yi and his family did. Stalin was reported to say that the death of one person was a tragedy and the death of a million was only statistics. This amazing documentary reminded me that there is a story behind those statistics, and the story of Sun Yi is one of unbelievable courage, persistence, and suffering. It made me realize how important freedom is, and why we must always stand up to brutal regimes that want to take them away. I cannot recommend this documentary enough.
