Satiated Village

In ZOU Xueping's first feature, The Starving Village, ZOU interviewed residents of her hometown about their experiences during a famine that killed tens of millions. In this follow-up, ZOU tries to screen the film in her village, only to meet resistance from family and neighbours fearful of official reprisal. Undeterred, ZOU uses her camera to mediate her hometown's ability to confront its tragic past, with near miraculous results.
