Shen Yun: The Dark Side of a Dance Troupe

A few days ago, one of the most ubiquitous live shows in the country, Shen Yun, began its latest run at Lincoln Center, drawing thousands of people to a performance that is colorful, acrobatic and — according to many of its performers — shockingly abusive.

Guest: Nicole Hong, an investigative reporter for The New York Times focusing on New York and its surrounding regions.
