In 2002, a group of Falun Gong practitioners in China came up with an audacious plan to hit back at the government鈥檚 crackdown on their faith. They hijacked the airwaves, broadcasting a video promoting their spiritual movement on state television.

Now, more than two decades later, Eternal Spring explores the aftermath of that brazen stunt, with Canadian writer-director Jason Loftus following comic book artist (and Falun Gong practitioner) Daxiong. Featuring vivid animation based on Daxiong鈥檚 drawings, the film recounts how their plan succeeded, but soon the authorities retaliated, and Daxiong left his homeland.

Now, Daxiong travels to Seoul and New York, interviewing some of the planners to hear their memories and asking their opinion of the scheme鈥檚 lasting impact.
