In Chinese (Mandarin) with English subtitles. This film focuses on a birth control official, Lü Guohua, in the remote northeastern village of Fanshen. Lu has to take things into his own hands in 2001 when a pregnant woman, defying the one-child-family policy, disappears to avoid mandatory abortion. Because of this, his good relationship with the village head is broken. But it happens to be election year in the village and a few tricks from Lü put an end to Li’s reelection for the new term in office. This documentary will be screened in the Vermont Conference Room.
