中国史の闇といわれている「反右派闘争」に迫った、全三部、8時間を超えるドキュメンタリー大作。1950年代後半、中国共産党によって突然「反動的な右派」と名指しされた55万人もの人が理由もわからずに収容所へ送られた「反右派闘争」。収容所は世界的な大飢饉も重なり、大量の餓死者が続出する地獄のような状況と化した。生存率10%とも言われた収容所から生き延びた人びとが、半世紀以上の時を経てカメラの前で語る体験の数々。山形国際ドキュメンタリー映画祭2019のインターナショナル・コンペティション部門で上映され、ロバート&フランシス・フラハティ賞(大賞)と市民賞(観客賞)をダブル受賞した。

The Ta'ang or Palaung people, an ethnic minority living in the mountainous area between Myanmar's Kokang region and China's Yunnan province, have historically suffered many forced migrations due to war. When their survival is threatened again in 2015, thousands of them flee across the border. Filmmaker Wang Bing accompanies them and becomes a privileged witness to a human story that is both a modern reportage and a mythical epic.
