=== Original Voice, Stolen Life (02:16) ===

[00:00:00]  Something that was really incredible in the film was you actually have this what I call a voice from history, you know, from 2002, Yun Zhang.
[00:00:11]  You actually have her original voice, her testament.
[00:00:29]  It was finding the original recording of Yun that inspired me to start the film at the very beginning.
[00:00:48]  My sister loved singing and danced well.
[00:00:52]  My sister was kidnapped at least.
[00:00:54]  This film features the original recordings of Yuan right before she was kidnapped by the police and eventually forcefully disappeared in the police custody.
[00:01:07]  After her husband was killed while in detention, she shared his story and distributed flyers in Qingdao, China.
[00:01:22]  This made her a target by the police, who handed her down.
[00:01:28]  At about 2 a.m. on April 19, 2001, she left messages for her sister in Toronto, Canada, recounting her family's plight.
[00:01:42]  Her speech was somewhat hurried, as she has felt that her situation was extremely dangerous because the policemen were outside her door.
[00:01:59]  In the recording, she said, her family's experience was only the tip of the iceberg in the persecution in China and hope the international community could help to end this persecution.
