E101 - Enemy of the State: Falungong

Falungong, a banned group in China, faced oppression. What made them a target and what happened next?

Episode one-oh-one covers the widespread and controversial movement of Falungong in China, a practice that faced severe persecution from the late 1990s onwards. But why target this group, and how did it grow into such a significant entity? What transpired during one of China's most large-scale suppressions?

We explore the origins, beliefs, and the aftermath faced by the Falungong practitioners. This episode raises questions about religious freedom, governmental authority, and the power dynamics that come into play when beliefs clash with state ideology.
