HOOLIGAN SPARROW Feature Documentary

Director Nanfu Wang follows intrepid activist “Hooligan Sparrow” throughout southern China, exposing widespread official indifference to sexual abuse. Often placed in grave danger by a cadre of government operatives tracking her every move, Wang uses hidden recording devices and stealthy camera eyeglasses to capture irrefutable proof of a complacent, muscle-bound system more concerned with information control than with the prosecution of crimes against girls and women. — Tom Meenan
