Chen Weiming and Chen Guangcheng Standing at the Gao Mural

On August 28, 2025, Chen Guangcheng and a small production team flew to Los Angeles, California. From there, they traveled into the Mojave Desert to the small town of Yermo, California. The purpose of this trip was to visit and document Liberty Sculpture Park and the story of its founder and artist, Chen Weiming. The park features sculptures and murals created as protests against human rights abuses committed by the CCP and other communist regimes around the world. The photos and videos captured during the visit were incorporated into a full length documentary, releasing in spring, 2026.
