<b>Dance with Farm Workers</b> <br />China, 2001, 50 minutes <br />Director: Wu Wenguang <br />Choreography: Wen Hui <br />This documentary films the creative process of the production of the same name, with ten professional dancers and actors and thirty former farmers from the poorer region of Sichuan province in China who, in the hope of a better life, have left for the city. This production was created and performed in a former textile factory where, today, an amusement park for the rich inhabitants of Peking has been built. The dance production and the documentary have briefly touched on the lives of these workers and shown their complexity, but they cannot change the workers’ destiny. The film maker is still following them and does not exclude the possibility of a sequel to this report in the future.
