Synopsis: A documentary that chronicles artist and activist Ai Weiwei as he prepares for a series of exhibitions and gets into an increasing number of clashes with the Chinese government.
Review: The documentary shows the engagement of Ai Weiwei for transparency in the modern history of China and in particular in the handling of earthquake missed children. We learn about the importance of Internet and its use and in particular of Twitter for his work. Then because Ai Weiwei art work is conceptual and done for specific events, we do not see much of his art work. This is quite deceiving. Such an activist life starting actually when he came back to China from his extremely long studies in the USA is anyway interesting and actually this increased my interest for this atypical artist. Let's see when he shows up in Europe in the coming years... Hopefully, this movie could inspire more artists for activism and more activists for art.
