MILES APART / LA MILE DEPARTARE

Ling Lee,  UK 2011 43'

Producer: Ling Lee

Film Presentation:
La mile departare este un documentar observational care priveste, de foarte aproape, conflictul dintre generatii si culturi in China, o tara aflata in schimbare. Cu doisprezece ani in urma, Laomao si sotia lui, Meizi, si-au lasat cei doi copii la tara si au inceput o afacere la 600 de mile departare, in Beijing. Cand fiica lor, Ying Ying, li se alatura, devine evident faptul ca ea nu impartaseste etica muncii care ii defineste pe parintii ei. Frustrarea lui Meizi creste pe masura ce isi impinge fiica sa lucreze. In plus, fiul ei, Lei Lei, nu prea invata. Separarea familiilor chineze cauzata de migrare afecteaza un sfert din familiile din mediul rural, majoritatea putand empatiza cu frustrarea cauzata de munca asidua pentru copii aparent nerecunoscatori.
