On November 26, 2022, the body of Hua Yong was found on a small island off Canada’s west coast. Initially considered an accidental drowning, his death took on a darker meaning when it emerged that Hua Yong, a political dissident and outspoken opponent of the Chinese Communist Party, had been targeted by Chinese secret police. After being imprisoned for challenging the regime, he had sought refuge in Canada. Through the testimony of a former Chinese spy and unprecedented access to Hua Yong’s communications with his secret police handlers,this documentary retraces the events surrounding the case and uncovers the dark secrets of the Chinese police force.
