law - Documentary on Songjian women's prison



Another great event by the Shanghai Foreign Correspondents' Club (SFCC) on Thursday 12 May: a viewing of Sylvie Levey's documentary "High Crimes in Shanghai", about the Songjian Women's Prison. A remarkable achievement to get access there!
From the invitation:

An Liu-long, one of 900 women housed at the Sonjiang prison tells her story, under the surveillance of the guards, and so illuminates the issues of violence towards women, the difficulties of migrant workers and the temptation that crime poses in their struggle to survive.
Exceptionally the film also reveals the daily routine of a Chinese prison; life in cells, compulsory work, military discipline alternating with leisure time and the famous “gai zao” – the surprisingly paternalist re-education of the soul.
Despite not yet having been broadcast in France “High Crimes” has already rewarded Sylvie Levey’s two years of negotiations to get it made by winning the Best

Sylvie made this other great documentary about colonel Jin Xin, China's first transexual. For details, please contact the event organizer Michael Mackey.
