Unsilenced

As a straightforward and enraged exposé of China’s fondness for propagandistic deception and murderous oppression, Unsilenced has a topicality that helps it occasionally transcend its storytelling limitations.

Informed by actual events, the unfailingly fervent "Unsilenced" overcomes some problematic scripting and evident logistical challenges to emerge as a moving portrait of conscious resistance in the face of political oppression.

Screenwriters Lee, Jocelyn Tennant, and Ty Chan do an admirable job transforming college students into social justice fighters and exposing the CCP.

Unsilenced doesnt offer torture as entertainment; its a tough, fast-moving thriller that educates, but also conforms to a few cinematic clichés...

It provides a quick crash course on what communism is and how it affects the freedoms of many.

This based on true events story becomes an effective political Thriller about the Chinese regime, its violent propaganda, its repressive methods and the lies they fed to their own people and to the whole wide world.

A Chinese polemic against Chinese one-party-state suppression of the Falun Gong religious and spiritual exercise movement...as subtle as a cudgel, and almost as artful

Unsilenced might have worked better as a documentary than the ticking-clock thriller it is, but the bones of the story would remain the same -- a vital examination of China’s treatment of its religious and ethnic minorities.

Hampered by sections of goopy, overly modest filmmaking, this drama is still worth seeking out due to the urgent nature of its true story, which is so powerful that it comes through clearly.

It plays like a Tom Clancy thriller and engages the viewer to constantly anticipate its next scenes. It also encourages the curious to launch their own investigations into the rampant persecution of Falun Gong in China.
