So there’s a documentary that came out in March 2026 called Unbroken: The Untold Story of Shen Yun. It hit millions of views in its first month online. And within days of its release, Beijing sent direct threats demanding it be pulled offline.
You’re in America. Right? First Amendment. Okay. But think about that for a second.
This is an American-made documentary. And the Chinese Communist Party mobilized to kill it.
So what’s in this film that scares them so badly?
I think it’s this: human culture. Imagine that. What we build together with our families, our communities, across generations and lifetimes, is greater than any state and the powers that control it. And they know that. So we have to understand it too. We have to protect our culture, wherever we’re from.
Because here’s the thing. Bad actors may try to destroy human culture. But they can’t destroy it forever. When you take away a people’s history, their art, their faith, their connection to something greater than the state, people don’t forget it. They carry it inside them. All of us do. And one day, they bring it back.
That’s what this interview is about.
