Since it came to power in
mainland China in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party has been
unceasing in its persecution of religious faith. It has frantically
arrested and murdered Christians, expelled and abused missionaries
operating in China, confiscated and burned countless copies of the
Bible, sealed up and demolished church buildings, and tried to
eradicate all house churches. A great number of Christians in house
churches have been arrested and persecuted.
This documentary describes the
real experience of a Chinese Christian, Yang Huizhi who was arrested
by the CCP government, tortured, and died from her mistreatment
because of her belief in God.
After Yang Huizhi died, the
CCP government falsely claimed that her death had been the result of
a heart attack. Her family wanted to seek justice for her, but were
ultimately scared into keeping quiet because of the CCP’s threats.
This exquisitely-shot
documentary attempts to recreate what really happened at the time,
and provides a profound reflection of the flagrant encroachment of
the religious beliefs and human rights of Chinese Christians. It is a
window to understanding the true lives of Chinese Christians and
Christian families, as well as a reflection—rarely seen in recent
years—of the experiences and emotions of Chinese Christians who
have been persecuted as a result of their faith.
