About this Event
“Nothing emboldens a criminal so much as the knowledge he can get away with a crime. We ignore the lesson of the Holocaust at our peril.” – David Matas

EVERYTHING YOU’RE ABOUT TO SEE IS TRUE

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
Raymond Zhang, Director, STATE ORGANS -
Truth has power. Truth is power. Truth could be your power.
This story is about searching for the truth. A story that inspired a nation.
As David Matas, a Canadian Human Rights lawyer said:” When you see the genocide occurred today after the holocaust, you think, how could this be possible? Well, it’s possible for the very reason Holocaust was possible.”
The difference is, Today while we still have time to stop this crime against humanity, we still have this opportunity to change the course of history that is happening right now. If each and everyone of us takes a small action, share what you see, what you hear in this film with your families and friends, together we could change China to a better country and make this world a better place.
Because truth has power. Truth is power and truth could be your power. Thank you all.
