Watch the full podcast! https://chinauncensored.tv/programs/podcast-346 Shen Yun performers are constantly under threat. They've been the subject of numerous bomb threats, had their bus tires slashed and had intruders come onto on their campus. We sat down with two of the dancers, brothers Jesse and Lucas Browde to talk to them about what life is like in Shen Yun and what makes them stay. Jesse and Lucas were recently featured in the documentary Unbroken: The Untold Story of Shen Yun. https://www.ntd.com/ntdplus/unbroken-the-untold-story-of-shen-yun_1130827.html
