Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry

About the movie

Can an artist change China? Not just an artist, this artist. China´s most famous international artist. An artist that photographed himself flashing his middle finger at Tiananmen Square. An artist whose studio was trashed by Chinese authorities and beaten when he investigated the deaths of schoolchildren in post-earthquake Sichuan. An artist with a voice and a worldwide audience that China is scared of.
Against a backdrop of strict censorship and an unresponsive legal system, Ai expresses himself and organizes people through art and social media. Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry is Alison Klayman’s debut feature documentary where she gained unprecedented access to Ai while working as a journalist in China. Her detailed portrait provides a nuanced exploration of contemporary China and one of its most compelling public figures.
