The film “Coming for You II – Eternal Fifty Minutes” is a dramatic retelling based on real events surrounding the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in the early 2000s.
It explores how the CCP, seeking to justify its nationwide crackdown on the spiritual group, allegedly staged the infamous Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident in 2001. This hoax, broadcast widely through state media, portrayed Falun Gong followers as dangerous extremists, igniting a wave of public fear and hatred that echoed the propaganda tactics of the Cultural Revolution. The narrative highlights the overnight criminalization of a practice followed by hundreds of millions, showing the escalation of suppression through lies, arrests, and torture, while emphasizing the resilience and moral convictions of ordinary individuals caught in the regime’s grip.
In response to the pervasive misinformation, the story shifts to a group of Falun Gong practitioners in Changchun who orchestrate a bold counteraction in the winter of 2002. Facing immense risks, they meticulously plan and execute a historic interception of local cable television signals, broadcasting truth-clarifying videos that expose the self-immolation as a fabrication. This daring act, lasting approximately 50 minutes, reaches millions of viewers and sparks a fleeting but profound moment of awakening amid the oppression. The film portrays their journey as a testament to courage and the pursuit of justice, culminating in severe repercussions from the authorities while underscoring the enduring impact of their “eternal fifty minutes” on the broader movement for truth and human rights.
