Actor Christian Bale tells the remarkable story of his friend Chen Guangcheng, a blind self-taught lawyer who took on the Chinese government’s one-child policy and stood up for women being forced into having late-term abortions and forced sterilisations. Guangcheng risked everything to stand up for what he believed in and paid the price. Christian Bale recalls being attacked during his own dramatic attempt to visit Guangcheng under house arrest in China.In Their Own Words is a podcast from Amnesty International, where people around the world tell their extraordinary stories of fighting for their rights.
