“Unbroken” premiere spotlights Shen Yun’s global defiance against CCP sabotage – Probe International 《堅不可摧》首映會彰顯神韻在全球範圍內對抗中共破壞行為的堅定立場——Probe International

“Unbroken: The Untold Story of Shen Yun” succeeds despite the Chinese communist regime’s multi-decade campaign of threats, cancellations, and intimidation.

儘管中國共產政權數十年來不斷進行威脅、取消演出及恐嚇，但《堅不可摧：神韻幕後的故事》仍大獲成功。

On April 22, the premiere of Unbroken: The Untold Story of Shen Yun took place in Toronto, drawing a crowd of cast members, dancers, filmmakers, and supporters eager to celebrate a production company that continues to expand globally despite a multi-decade campaign by the Chinese communist regime to sabotage its performances.

4月22日，《堅不可摧：神韻幕後的故事》在多倫多舉行首映禮，吸引了眾多演員、舞者、電影製作人及支持者齊聚一堂，共同慶祝這家製作公司——儘管中國共產政權數十年來持續發動運動企圖破壞其演出，該公司仍持續在全球拓展版圖。

What was anticipated as a behind-the-scenes documentary quickly revealed itself as a profound exploration of the challenges faced by the performers of Shen Yun, who train rigorously while confronting significant threats to their artistic expression. Canadian journalist Scarlett Grace notes in her write-up of the film’s Toronto release, the recent cancellation of six Shen Yun shows at the city’s Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts earlier in April, following a single email threat—an unprecedented decision that has sparked serious questions about foreign influence and the venue’s “abundance of caution.”

這部原本被預期為幕後紀錄片的影片，很快便展現出對神韻藝術家所面臨挑戰的深刻探討——他們在嚴格訓練的同時，還必須面對對其藝術表達的重大威脅。加拿大記者史嘉蕾·葛蕾絲（Scarlett Grace）在報導該片於多倫多上映時指出，今年四月初，僅因一封威脅電郵，多倫多四季劇院便取消了六場神韻演出——這項史無前例的決定，引發了外界對「外國勢力干預」以及該場館「過度謹慎」的嚴肅質疑。

China monitor, Probe International’s Patricia Adams called the cancellations “disturbingly similar” to CCP tactics used inside China to silence dissent, warning that yielding to such intimidation erodes public trust, artistic freedom, and Canadian sovereignty. As Joel Chipkar of the Falun Dafa Association noted, it represents an assault on safety and the artistic community. Despite over 150 false bomb threats worldwide, Shen Yun’s 2026 tour — its largest ever, with eight troupes across five continents — continues, preserving a vision of “China before communism” that the regime fears.

「中國觀察」（China Monitor）及「探針國際」（Probe International）的帕特里夏·亞當斯（Patricia Adams）指出，這些取消演出事件與中共在中國境內用以壓制異見的手段「驚人地相似」，並警告說，屈服於此類恐嚇將侵蝕公眾信任、藝術自由及加拿大主權。正如法輪大法協會的喬爾·奇普卡所指出的，這代表著對安全與藝術界的攻擊。儘管在全球各地遭遇超過150起虛假炸彈威脅，神韻2026年巡演——這是該團有史以來規模最大的一次，共有八支演出團橫跨五大洲——仍將繼續進行，並將持續呈現該政權所畏懼的「共產主義前的中國」這一願景。

In a striking investigative segment, the film follows protesters who appear to have been financially incentivized to disrupt performances, echoing claims made by The New York Times—claims that the documentary vehemently disputes, suggesting they are part of a broader campaign orchestrated by the CCP.

在這部引人注目的調查報導片段中，影片跟拍了似乎因金錢誘因而前去擾亂演出的抗議者，這與《紐約時報》的指控不謀而合——但這部紀錄片對此提出強烈反駁，並暗示這些指控是中共策劃的一場更廣泛行動的一部分。

The documentary’s timing feels especially urgent in a world where socialism and authoritarian tactics are gaining ground. Grace recognizes the same patterns of cultural erasure and suppression that have targeted Shen Yun in her work with the Iranian community.

在社會主義與威權手段日益蔓延的當今世界，這部紀錄片的推出時機顯得格外迫切。葛蕾絲在與伊朗社群合作時，察覺到與神韻所遭遇的相同模式——即文化抹殺與壓制。

Interviews she conducted with the film’s stars on the red carpet revealed their resilience and passion — dance and performance as resistance and cultural preservation. By separating “China” from the “Party,” Shen Yun undermines the CCP’s state-sanctioned versions of Chinese culture and the Party’s positioning as the sole guardian of Chinese civilization—a threat the regime cannot abide but has not been able to stop.

她在紅毯上對該片主演們進行的專訪，揭示了他們堅韌不拔的精神與滿腔熱忱——舞蹈與表演既是抵抗，也是文化傳承。神韻透過將「中國」與「黨」區分開來，動搖了中共所推崇的、經國家認可的中國文化詮釋，以及該黨自詡為中華文明唯一守護者的定位——這對該政權而言是無法容忍卻又無力阻止的威脅。
