Description
Private Revolutions: A powerful and moving portrait of four Chinese women striving for a better future in an unequal society. Yuan Yang tells their stories, from June's dreams of university to Sam's fight for survival as her activist peers are silenced.
This is a singularly immersive tale of hopes, fears and change, set against the backdrop of China's rapid transformation. With courage and conviction, these women refuse to accept the life laid out for them, and in doing so, reveal the complexities and contradictions of their nation.
