Art, for many of us, is an escape.

Whether it's turning on your favorite album during a traffic-heavy commute or getting lost in your favorite book before bed – art helps us cope with the stresses of everyday life.

A new documentary called "Porcelain War" follows their journey surviving and defending their country while holding onto their humanity.
