With eight touring companies performing hundreds of sold-out shows each year, it has introduced millions of people to the beauty of traditional Chinese culture. But what began as a quiet artistic missionto revive a five-thousand-year-old civilization the Chinese Communist Party tried to erasequickly exploded into a high-stakes global confrontation. As Shen Yun's audiences grew, so too did Beijing's campaign of transnational repression to silence it: bomb threats to theaters, sabotage, intimidation of performers' families, and coordinated smear campaignsall part of an effort that reached deeper and deeper into American soil and exploited the very freedoms the Party seeks to undermine. Today, despite years of interference, Shen Yun stands as one of the Chinese Communist Party's most formidable and unlikely adversaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on firsthand accounts, investigative reporting by journalists Steve Lance and Jan Jekielek, and never-before-told stories, \u003ci\u003eUnbroken: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Untold Story of Shen Yun\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how an artistic and spiritual yearning became an international struggle over history, identity, and freedom itself.
