In March 2002, a state TV station in China was hijacked by members of the outlawed spiritual group Falun Gong. Their goal was to counter the government narrative about their practice. In the aftermath, police raids sweep Changchun City, and comic book illustrator Daxiong (Justice League, Star Wars), a Falun Gong practitioner, is forced to flee. He arrives in North America, blaming the hijacking for worsening violent repression. But his views are challenged when he meets the lone surviving participant to have escaped China, now living in Seoul, South Korea. Combining present-day footage with 3D animation inspired by Daxiong's art, Eternal Spring retraces the event on its 20th anniversary and brings to life an unprecedented story of defiance, harrowing eyewitness accounts of persecution, and an exhilarating tale of determination to speak up for political and religious freedoms, no matter the cost. —Thessaloniki Documentary Festival
Two years ago, this played at a theater 50 miles from my house before a baseball game I was going to play in. The game was rained out, so I didn't go see the movie. I looked for it regularly after that, but wasn't able to find it again until last night when I watched it on tubi.
Just posting this to make people aware because it's well worth watching. Thought about putting this in the Upcoming Movies & Sequels section, but it technically doesn't fit that description.
