NEW YORK—Based on a true story, “Haunted - Real Evil Does Exist” offers a glimpse into the life of a prisoner of conscience inside China’s secretive detention system. It also shines a spotlight on the grisly origin of some items commonly seen on shelves for holidays, such as Halloween.
The film is inspired by the true story of the woman in Oregon who found a S.O.S. letter hidden inside a Halloween “graveyard” set she bought at discount store Kmart. The letter was from a Falun Gong prisoner of conscience being held in a Chinese forced labor camp. Falun Gong is an ancient Chinese meditation practice that the Chinese communist regime has targeted for eradication.
