Watermarks - Three Letters from China (2014)

Directed by Luc Schaedler

“Based on three different places, the film portrays the infractions to which people living in modern day China are subjected due to rapid developments.”

Documentary · 1h 20m

Based on three different places, the film portrays the infractions to which people living in modern day China are subjected due to rapid developments: in the deceptively idyllic Yangshuo in the rainy south; in the apocalyptic coal mining site of Wuhai in the parched north; and in Chongqing, the urban behemoth on the Yangtze River. The protagonists give their accounts of the unsurmounted past, the precarious present and their tentative steps into the future. The film thus paints a complex image of the mental state of the people in this complicated country.
