The engaging,  award-winning film tells the story of a mother and former Communist Party member, Jennifer Zeng, who along with more than 70 Million Chinese were practicing a belief that combined Buddhism and Daoism until the Chinese Government outlawed it and she was imprisoned for her faith. The showing will take place in Room 402 of Lippitt Hall (5 Lippitt Rd., URI, Kingston) is free and open to the public. Click here for more information.
