American INSIGHT

We're continuing our “Focus On” series, where we'll highlight a past film that referenced the core values of our mission to promote free speech, human rights, the rule of law and democracy.

Today, we're highlighting “Free China: The Courage to Believe,” the inaugural Free Speech Award-winning film in 2012. The documentary, which was written and directed by Michael Perlman, shared the true story of Jennifer Zeng, a mother and former Communist Party member who was eventually imprisoned by the Chinese Government for her faith after practicing Falun Gong, a belief that combined Buddhism and Daoism.

Learn more about the film in our Free Speech Spotlight Blog (https://freespeechfilmfestival.org/blog/) post this week honoring Philadelphia's connection to Human Rights.
