The Record

The Footage

Everything anyone has ever filmed of the Mo Pai claims, in one place. It amounts to a few minutes of 1988 television and the copies made of it.

This is the shortest page in the archive and that is the point of it. Twenty-five years of argument about Mo Pai have been conducted over one documentary segment, filmed by travellers who were not investigating anything, and later withdrawn at the subject's own request. No comparable footage has been produced since — not by Chang, not by his students, and not by anyone claiming the same abilities. Watch it before reading the arguments about it, and see The Demonstrations for what is actually visible in it.

The primary footage

Everything in this section is the same few minutes of 1988 television, in different copies. That is not a gap in this archive — it is the whole of the visual record.
