We take a trip to China to uncover the origins of the Falun Gong, the contradictions between superstition and science, rural ear reading, levitation, and Qigong fever.

Copy pasting a fantastic comment from the reddit thread.

I tried to explain to my mom why I don't want to go to Shen Yun with her the next time I visited but she agreed with all their insane ideas about evolution being a lie and science being a communist plot. Luckily she thinks yoga is also sacrilegious so explaining Qigong finally got her to turn on it.

    I remember reading about the giant Marx head, and thinking "that fucking rules". I wish i didn't have to sit through the whole expoitative performance to see giant Marx painting the stage red.
