From the Peabody Award-winning director of Human Harvest comes Avenues of Escape - A gripping documentary about escaping persecution in China.
During the decades long crackdown on Falun Gong practitioners in China which claimed thousands of victims, the lives of three women intertwine as they embark on a dangerous journey to find freedom. Armed with only a road map and a desire for justice, they must rely on their wits, courage and the compassion of strangers, to escape imprisonment and navigate a treacherous passageway out of communist China. Staying behind means certain death, but the road ahead holds no guarantees. How far will they go for freedom?
15 min. Q&A with Director Leon Lee following screening.
