A group of women are taking on China’s communist government after their husbands and fathers were jailed as dissidents. The women never wanted to be campaigners but felt compelled to help their loved ones. In China, the women endured detention, surveillance, social isolation and persecution. They’ve now fled to the United States, where they juggle jobs, bringing up children – and political campaigning. The ±«Óãtv’s Asia-Pacific editor, Michael Bristow, hears their stories that reveal the dark side of China’s communist regime.
