Over the past 20 years, the Chinese Communist Party has given orders to eradicate Falun Dafa, a peaceful belief system. Over 1.5 million people have been imprisoned, sent to labour camps, tortured and killed because of their belief. This story is based on the story of Sophia, who's mother spent years in and out of prison. When Sophia was eight, she made a silent protest in solidarity with her mother and wrote on a street wall in her home-town 'Falun Dafa is good'.
The words remain on that wall until now.
