Synopsis
At the Human Rights Museum, senior guide Fred Chin invites audiences to control an old puppet of a boy, leading them into a magical shadow puppet world. The boy leaves home and falls into the trap of a demon king. Chin then compares the story to his own experience of wrongful imprisonment and torture, saying reality is even more terrifying. When the boy finally escapes, he must choose between revenge and forgiveness, and audiences must make the same choice.
