Guochang

Sinopsis Film

The village of Guochang ("fruit farm") was established during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-76) as a labor camp – built by prisoners, including the director's father. Later, the traces were covered up: the place was at times both a village and a prison, and later even a drug treatment center. The film is directed against forgetting and silence and attempts to give the spirits of the dead and disappeared a form of redemption.
