Monday, we continue our Through the Lens series with a thrilling exploration of the power of protest and the efforts to contain it. Filmmaker Nanfu Wang will join us to talk about her documentary film Hooligan Sparrow, which follows the efforts of activist Ye Haiyan as she and fellow protestors work to shed light on sexual exploitation in China. They’re marked as enemies of the state and routinely harassed by thugs, and the web of trouble also threatens Wang’s film, not to mention her personal safety.
In this excerpt from today's show Nanfu Wang tells the Chinese folk tale "Little Horse Crossing the River"
Join us for a free screening of Nanfu Wang’s documentary film Hooligan Sparrow on Tuesday, August 23 at 7:00 p.m., at the Main Downtown Library in Salt Lake City. Doug Fabrizio will host a post-film Q&A with Wang. It’s all part of our Through the Lens series in partnership with Utah Film Center. MORE DETAILS
