Recommend a film:Buried
Yesterday is the third national mourning day of China. I was sad for the victims compatriots,however I had to ask a question whether they could not be dead?I found the answer from a film —— <Buried>.
Wang Libo’s film <Buried> was one of the prizewinners of the 2009 Beijing Documentary Film Festival. This probing documentary was made in the aftermath of the 2008 earthquake that shook Sichuan province . Instead of focusing directly at the Sichuan earthquake, Wang’s film looks back at controversies surrounding the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake that killed over 200,000 people. Using a range of expert testimonies, Wang builds a provocative argument that Chinese officials had significant information forewarning of an imminent earthquake, but did not take sufficient action to help prevent the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives.
The implications of the film’s conclusions bear heavily on the GOV’s handling of both the Tangshan and the Sichuan earthquake. <Buried> leaves disturbing questions about the power and responsibility of government in disaster management.
I recommed every Chinese people to see this film.
