JustWatch

“UNBROKEN: The Untold Story of Shen Yun” follows the world-renowned classical Chinese dance company Shen Yun Performing Arts as it rises to global acclaim while facing intimidation and threats of violence. Through the eyes of two brothers and their fellow performers, the film traces an unlikely journey—from ordinary American childhoods to the world’s most prestigious stages—where rigorous artistic training and spiritual conviction shape both their craft and their character.  As Shen Yun tours internationally, the company becomes the target of escalating smear campaigns, threats, and alleged interference linked to the Chinese Communist Party. Blending personal storytelling with investigative reporting, “UNBROKEN” reveals what happens when art, faith, and freedom collide with totalitarianism power—and how resilience, community, and cultural revival endure in the face of intimidation.
