The Chinese Government’s brutal oppression of Falun Gong – a spiritual discipline based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance – is well documented. Falun Gong practitioners make up the largest group of prisoners of conscience in the world. Between 450,000 and one million are extra-judicially detained at any given time. All the while the Communist Party has initiated a nationwide crackdown on this “heretical organisation,”” even blocking websites that mention Falun Gong.
Red Reign exposes the until now concealed story of the systematic execution of those Falun Gong members held in custody to service a growing demand for harvested organs.
The scale of this trade and the manner in which it is executed amount to a modern day genocide. Desperate western clients are reluctant to ask how it is possible for organs to be “booked” in advance without an execution-to-order taking place, and as a non-smoking or drinking practice, the Falun Gong are uniquely vulnerable to this trade. Despite previous attempts by the media to uncover this story, a black-out has been instigated by the Chinese Communist Party interfering with public broadcasters and television festivals around the world.
Red Reign uncovers the systematic murder of the Falun Gong through Organ Harvesting as well as the work of courageous doctors, politicians & lawyers around the world who are bringing this monstrous injustice to the light of day.
Red Reign is a gripping film that charts the life work of David Matas, a Nobel Peace Prize nominated Canadian civil rights lawyer and his uncovering of what many consider to be the crime of the century: the brutal organ harvesting program in China aimed at the Falun Gong spiritual practice.
Red Reign exposes and explains this global story of tangled politics, economics and media through interviews with:
Victims of the Falun Gong persecution
David Kilgour, Canadian Parliament member
Doctors with chilling stories
And filmmakers who have been censored in Canada, Europe and the US by arms of the Chinese Communist Party
