A feature film "Free China: The Courage to Believe" will be screened at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 28, at part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers at The Arts Council's Smithgall Arts Center in Gainesville. "Free China" examines widespread human rights violations in China through the stories of Jennifer Zeng, a mother and former Communist Party member; Dr. Charles Lee, a Chinese- American businessman; and hundreds of thousands of imprisoned, tortured and subjected to slave labor for their spiritual beliefs. As political tensions rise in China with the latest corruption scandals, and more than 100,000 protests occurring yearly, the documentary provides new information that connects China’s widespread human rights violations with systemic unfair trade practices.
