Pretty crazy story here. To recap the 3 minute video, in the 90s a religion was started and then quickly banned in China, the founder moved to New York, built a compound where the dancers train, live, and so on, in the late 2000s they created the Epoch Times.

Yeah, I watched a video yesterday that mentioned them, and the video said that while most people believe Shen Yun is CCP propaganda, that couldn't be further from the truth, as it's a completely American production by Chinese-Americans who want to revive traditional Chinese ballet before it was corrupted to be political propaganda. Because of this, the CCP regularly uses their contacts in whatever country Shen Yun is touring in to try to sabotage them.

EDIT: Okay, so the video in the OP went into more detail. The leader is against interracial marriage, LGBT, and evolution, which the video says can be seen in the performances; they all live on a compound where phone and internet access is restricted; and they are hard-core right-wingers who support Trump due to his tough stance on China (understandable as far as the reason, but still). That's... not good.

Sounds like a cult.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

Ah, the Falun Gong movement.
There were rumors that Chinese government harvested their organs but I'm not convinced.
