The Warden Who Escaped

Usually it's the prisoners who want to get out. This time, it's the man in charge. Han Guangsheng was the chief of the Judicial Bureau in the Chinese city of Shenyang, responsible for overseeing four labor camps and two prisons that despite his efforts were home to some unspeakable crimes. No longer able to live with this knowledge he traded his high rank and government perks for a basement room in Toronto, and his conscience. Ten years later with a wife, two kids and a local grocery store to run, he must prove in court that he is not a criminal monster and is worthy of refugee status in Canada. Otherwise he will lose everything and be returned to China where he will become a prisoner in the same camps he used to run.

Obliviously awesome movie. One of my favorites movies of all time!

Leon Lee as a director has made a lot of awesome movies in the past... and I mean A LOT! And This one definitely is one of them!

All the actors made the characters breathe an essence which is integral to the script and the director captured it the best way possible. But Guangsheng Han is definitely the soul of this movie.

This film was well constructed in every aspect of the story, great movie.

Great acting all around..Guangsheng Han made it feel real and heartfelt.

Not a 10 but definitely a worthy view. 

This is by far one of the better made movies and didn't leave me disappointed at all!

One of the best movies I have ever seen. Written well, directed well and told well. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

It’s an excellent film. I feel that it's a movie everybody should watch at least once in their life time.

I like Documentary films and this one is pretty good.
