Violence can be swift and merciless when a population is dehumanized and governments are permitted to perpetuate unspeakable crimes against humanity. It is incumbent that outside voices, like those of conscientious film director’s Leon Lee and Christian Johnston sound the clarion call demanding that government repression not be tolerated. Film is a powerful tool to raise conscious while shining a powerful spotlight on the plight of the persecuted.
