“Unsilenced”is a tale of courage and resilience of an American journalist and a group of young Chinese in the face of a state propaganda machine
Can truth prevail in the face of the most powerful propaganda machine? When the Chinese communist regime launches a brutal crackdown against 100 million citizens, a jaded American reporter teams up with a handful of innocent students to expose one of the largest human rights violations that continues to this day.
Peabody Award-winning director Leon Lee brings us a feature film that exposes how lies are fabricated and voices of dissent crushed by the state propaganda machine. The film explores the role journalists play in times of oppression because “journalism can never be silent.”
The film stars Sam Trammell(True Blood, Breakthrough, The Order), and Anastasia Lin, Miss World Canada 2015, and an ex-special forces operative turned Taiwanese actor, Tzu-Chiang Wang, Unsilenced opens theatrically in the United States and Canada on January 21, 2022.
Based on true events, Unsilenced follows Wang, a student at an elite university in Beijing, and Daniel, a cynical American reporter, as they attempt to navigate the 1999 order that banned Falun Gong in China and remains in effect to this day. With the risk of prison, torture, and even death looming over them, they must all make sacrifices to protect what’s true at all costs.
