| Embedding herself in the village of Wukan, southern China for severaI years starting in 2011, first-time documentarian Jill Li witnessed an unprecedented experiment in locaI democracy. Corrupt officials had illegaIly soId viIlagers’ Iand, but the vilIagers decided to fight back. The documentary is divided into two halves: the first, "Protests", depicts the grassroots activities of Wukan residents as they work to reverse the Iand sales and gain a substantial measure of control over their local 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 newIy elected vilIage government finds itseIf mired in the same kind of corrupt dealings they had originaIly condemned. Li reveaIs 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. |
