Targeted by the State
The day after Dr. Feng “Franklin” Tao returned from his trip to China in 2019, FBI agents were at the door of his home in Lawrence, Kansas. He was being arrested.
Someone had called in a tip claiming that this University of Kansas chemistry professor might be involved in…espionage.
An investigation began, under the mantle of a questionable national security program, which turned Dr. Tao’s life upside down. There was just one problem: was there ever actually any evidence to justify these suspicions?
A Somethin’ Else Production.
