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.

    Tell her that if the US ever had the balls to prosecute the Church of Scientology, this is exactly the same kind of whiny bullshit play they'd write about it.
