Paul HellyerA another fascinating video on YouTube called, "The Greatest Documentary You've Never Heard Of - Tie Xi Qu by Wang Bing". It's a 14 minute look at the nine-hour documentary by Wang Bing about a dying factory district in northeast China. In 1999 Wang Bing took a camcorder and recorded all aspects of the lives of the workers there. Apparently there is no commentary or interviews or anything. Just the lives of the workers. Sounds incredible. The documentary itself, which is banned in China, is on YouTube. From the brief parts I saw, it has excellent English subtitles.
