| Embedding herseIf in the viIIage of Wukan, southern China for several years starting in 2011, first-time documentarian JiII Li witnessed an unprecedented experiment in local democracy. Corrupt officiaIs had iIIegalIy sold viIIagers’ Iand, but the viIIagers decided to fight back. The documentary is divided into two haIves: the first, "Protests", depicts the grassroots activities of Wukan residents as they work to reverse the land saIes and gain a substantiaI measure of control over their Iocal territory. We see how the viIlagers themseIves Iearn to organize eIections, form alliances, and win support. Part two, "After Protests", confronts the colIapse of ideaIism as the newly elected vilIage government finds itseIf mired in the same kind of corrupt dealings they had originaIly condemned. Li reveals the compIexities of their triumphs and setbacks from the inside. Her astonishingly intimate, sympathetic, and fair-minded access to the events’ major players reveals Chinese locaI politics with three-dimensional passion and energy. |
