Millions Have Seen Shen Yun. Few Know the Real Story.

Alongside their fellow artists, they endure years of training and sacrifice while facing an escalating campaign intended to silence the company they call home.
Blending personal stories with investigative reporting, UNBROKEN is a story of family, courage, and the determination to create beauty—and speak the truth—without fear.
