Dir. Zhao Liang 
2009, Documentary, 120 mins
Mandarin w/ English subtitles

Zhao Liang’s confronting feature-length documentary is the result of more than a decade of living and filming in a shanty town next to Beijing South Railway Station. The slum—now demolished—was once home to a floating population of thousands who came from all over the country to lodge complaints about authorities in their hometowns.
