Shen Yun is an American performing arts company that sells out venues worldwide. Before shows, bomb threats come in. Theaters get swept. Tour buses need overnight security to prevent sabotage. Incidents have been reported across the United States, including California. The question is why what investigators describe as a foreign government campaign keeps reaching an American company on American soil.
A separate but related track runs through federal court. A California-based Chinese agent was caught by the FBI attempting to bribe IRS officials into revoking Shen Yun’s nonprofit status. Investigators say that the case is one documented node in a campaign our guests describe as escalating.
Steve Lance, executive producer at Sincere Pictures, and Levi Browde, executive director of the Falun Info Center, join Levi’s son Lucas, a principal dancer with Shen Yun, and musician Rachel Chen to walk through what the investigation found and what the documentary “Unbroken” documents in full.
