First presented at the 2007 Santa Fe Film Festival, local filmmaker Aron Kalaii’s independent feature THE SAMURAI, THE MUSLIM AND THE THUG breaks the traditional mold of Martial Arts films with metaphysical undertones that will make you question reality. This Western-style suspense film is the result of what happens when you combine untold history, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Phi, Pulp Fiction, and the Samurai classic Yojimbo, to a pulsating soundtrack from the SugarBitch “Heaven 90291” album. 5/20 Tuesday: 6:00 PM SFCC STUDENT FILM SHOWCASE A presentation of short films made during the past school year by students from Santa Fe Community College Media Arts Moving Image program.

Falun Gong is an ancient form of qigong, the practice of refining the body and mind through special exercises and meditation. Like tai chi, qigong is a vital part of many people’s lives in Asia; almost every Chinese park is brimming by the break of dawn with people practicing these arts. Initially Falun Gong was approved of and promoted by the Chinese government. However, with government estimates of as many as 70-100 million people practicing Falun Gong, the then Chinese leader Jiang Zemin’s regime banned the practice in July 1999. Trying to explain this seemingly incomprehensible act, one theory suggests that the regime could not tolerate Falun Gong’s rapid growth. According to human rights organizations, practitioners are held in labor camps all over China and there are several reports of severe abuse, torture and deaths. This is the story of Australian Zhizhen Dai and her little daughter Fadu Chen. Their beloved husband and father, Chen Chengyong, was persecuted to death in China for his belief in and support for Falun Gong. Determined to let the world know about the brutal death of her husband, and the ongoing suffering of millions of persecuted Falun Gong practitioners in China, Zhizhen Dai now journeys around the world together with her daughter. She carries the message of human rights, truth and justice with a conviction that can only be achieved through personal experiences and deep insights. The film was made with the direct participation of Zhizhen Dai and Fadu Chen, renowned human rights lawyer Mr. Georges-Henri Beauthier - probably best known for his role in bringing charges against former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, several members of the European Parliament, human rights activists, and a number of others.
