Chinese independent documentary director Jiu-Liang Wang first gained international attention with his film, Beijing Besieged by Waste, which traveled the international film festival circuit and created changes to the landfill policies in the area surrounding China’s capital. His second film, Plastic China, has caused quite a controversy in China, though the film has still obtained thousands of page-views.
The CLP will include a brief introduction by Asian Studies Assistant Professor Tami Blumenfield, the 82-minute film screening, and a Director Q&A after the film.
Tuesday, April 4, 7:30-9:30 pm

Reception with the director will follow the screening.
