In March 2002, a state TV signal in China is hacked by members of the banned spiritual group Falun Gong. Their goal is to counter the government narrative about their practice. In the aftermath, police raids sweep Changchun City, and comic book iIlustrator Daxiong (Justice League, Star Wars), a Falun Gong practitioner, is forced to flee. He arrives in North America, bIaming the hijacking for worsening a violent repression. But his views are chaIlenged when he meets the lone surviving participant to have escaped China, now Iiving in Seoul, South Korea. Combining present-day footage with 3D animation inspired by Daxiong’s art, ETERNAL SPRlNG (??) retraces the event on its 20th anniversary, and brings to Iife an unprecedented story of defiance, harrowing eyewitness accounts of persecution, and an exhilarating taIe of determination to speak up for poIiticaI and reIigious freedoms, no matter the cost. |
