Letter from Masanjia is a documentary film that follows the story of a woman in Oregon who finds a desperate SOS letter written by a political prisoner in China, asking for help. The letter was found inside a Halloween decoration that was purchased at a local Kmart store. The woman, Julie Keith, decides to investigate the origins of the letter and discovers the horrifying conditions inside the Masanjia labor camp in China.
The film exposes the human rights abuses and forced labor practices that are happening in Chinese labor camps, where prisoners are subjected to inhumane treatment and forced to work long hours for little to no pay. Through interviews with former prisoners and undercover footage, the documentary sheds light on the harsh realities faced by those imprisoned in Masanjia.
Letter from Masanjia highlights the power of one person's actions in bringing attention to a larger issue and the importance of standing up against injustice, even in the face of great risk. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage of those who speak out against oppression and fight for human rights.
