Born in Beijing

Synopsis

This is a peculiar work, a bizarre place, a group of bigoted people and a unique vicissitudes of life. MA Li, the director, devoted six years to going deep into the petitioner village, a humble village in Beijing. With a DV, she talks heart to heart with petitioners from all over the country and creates a real world in a limited space, which is rarely known by people yet closely related to our survival.
