Tietoja tästä elokuvasta

The danger is palpable as intrepid young filmmaker Nanfu Wang follows maverick activist Ye Haiyan
(a.k.a Hooligan Sparrow) and her band of colleagues to Hainan Province in southern China, to protest
the case of six elementary school girls who were sexually abused by their principal. Marked as
enemies of the state, the activists are under constant government surveillance and face interrogation,
harassment, and imprisonment. Sparrow, who gained notoriety with her advocacy work for sex
workers’ rights, continues to champion girls’ and women’s rights and arms herself with the power and
reach of social media.
