SATURDAY 14 MARCH : China Indie Doc Focus
China is rising into world power and is developing at an unprecedented pace in a bid to catch up with the rest of the developed nations. The giant People's Republic of China is changing, from closed-door communism to an open embrace of economic capitalism. Teething problems abound and the disharmonious undercurrents of social change on the ground are hardly the topics of choice to be put up for discussion by the ruling government.
Let these indie docs shed some light and show what the man on the street in China is facing as national development intrudes into their lives. Curated by Paul Pickowicz.
