Résumé / Abstract : "Based on detailed interviews with Chinese documentary filmmakers that are rarely avilable in English, the author draws on the own insights as a journalist working in Beijing to provide a detailed analysis of key contemporary documentaries. This groundbreaking book reveals a sustained attempt to forge an alternative public sphere, where the views and experiences of petitioners, AIDS sufferers, dispossessed farmers and the victims of Mao's repression can be publicly aired for a small but steadily public."
