Reviews

Coming in close to 30 years after the Jonestown Massacre, this is a dramatic retelling (with actual footage mixed in) of the fateful hours leading to the end of the People’s Temple Agricultural Project. Rick Roberts give a strong performance as Jones, a man who is seeing is dream of a socialist paradise dissolve after finding out more and more of his “people” want to defect once the horrid conditions and practices are brought to light. The real powerhouse is Greg Elland as Congressman Leo Ryan, playing him as an unnervingly cool and heroic would-be savior, only to end as a victim to one of the darkest days in United States history.

False Fire: Chinas Tragic New Standard In State Deception

On January 23, 2001, in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) staged and directed a self-immolation of Falun Gong practitioners to seek success. Through logical reasoning and analysis, the film shows clearly that a government-directed "drama" and self-immolation occurred to resolve a situation in which Jiang Zemin, then leader of the Chinese Communist Party, was "in a difficult position" to suppress Falun Gong. In addition, the film tells the story of how Falun Gong practitioners came out one by one to tell the truth, but were brutally persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party and tortured to death, but they did not give in and insisted on telling people the truth in a peaceful and rational manner. This spirit of perseverance and resilience in spite of life and death shook the audience to their core.
