LETTER FROM MASANJIA
Leon Lee, Director | Doc | 2018 | 75 min
An SOS note scrawled in desperation in a Chinese labor camp. An American woman finds it in a package from Kmart, publicizes its message: “We’re being tortured.” The letter writer, now free, sets out to film the truth about life in China and tell his story — but can he outrun the secret police? Official selection of the Arlington International Film Festival, Newburyport Documentary Film Festival, and hotDocs Film Festival.

Q&A
There will be a short Q&A with the filmmaker following the film.

RAFFLE
All ticket holders will be entered into a raffle for an Acton Coffee House gift card!

SPONSORS
This showing is co-produced by AIFF and Fugitive Productions and is made possible, in part by contributions by West Acton Villageworks, Tables to Teapots, Acton Coffee House, and Jackie Normand.
