Bad Women Of China + Introduction

Filmmaker and activist He Xiaopei's first feature-length documentary commences with an attempt at reconciliation with her mother, before taking the audience on a journey from the 1920s through to the 2020s. With a raw, DIY aesthetic, the film brings to life the experiences of three generations of Chinese women – He’s mother, herself, and her daughter – as they come to terms with political and social change.

With an introduction by Hongwei Bao from the University of Nottingham, and followed by a pre-recorded Q&A with director He Xiaopei.
