Defiance in the Kingdom of Fake News

In the northeastern city of Changchun, China, a group of six ordinary people—a truck driver, a food vendor, a housewife, and others—gathered in secret to plan an extraordinary task: to break into the television broadcasting system of the most tyrannical regime on earth—that of the Chinese Communist Party. Their goal was to expose one of the gravest, state-sponsored lies in Chinese history. A single lie used to justify the persecution of millions of people.

It was an event that sparked an information revolution that challenged oppressive regimes around the world, from Beijing to Tehran, and continues to reverberate today.

This is their remarkable story.
