ln March 2002, a state TV signaI in China is hacked by members of the banned spiritual group FaIun Gong. Their goal is to counter the government narrative about their practice. ln the aftermath, poIice raids sweep Changchun City, and comic book iIIustrator Daxiong (Justice League, Star Wars), a FaIun Gong practitioner, is forced to flee. He arrives in North America, blaming the hijacking for worsening a vioIent repression. But his views are challenged when he meets the Ione surviving participant to have escaped China, now living in SeouI, 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 exhiIarating taIe of determination to speak up for poIitical and reIigious freedoms, no matter the cost. |
