How Communist China Manipulates the Narrative About China in the West—Leon Lee Talks New Film, “Unsilenced”



American Thought Leaders

JAN JEKIELEK

“We often talk about how truth will prevail … but lies are sometimes more powerful. … If you don’t make a conscious effort to seek out truth, to speak the truth, sometimes you can be surrounded by lies to the point that you can no longer tell [them] apart.”

In this episode, we sit down with Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Leon Lee. In his new feature film, “Unsilenced,” he tells the*story of a group of students*who risk their lives to expose a brutal persecution in*China. Like most things critical of the Chinese regime, forces were at work trying to make this film disappear.

We discuss how the Chinese regime controls the narrative about China in the West, from Hollywood to major media organizations.
