Walk the Line

Literally translated from the Mandarin Zou Xian, Walk the Line chronicles the perilous journey across the Darién Gap, the jungle corridor between Colombia and Panama that has become a route for asylum seekers heading to the United States. Amid China’s Zero-COVID aftermath, economic decline, human rights concerns, and growing uncertainty, Chinese migrants have become one of the fastest-growing groups arriving at the U.S. southern border. Filmed over eight months across multiple countries, the documentary follows several migrants: Ivan and Lee, a same-sex couple who concealed their identities until reaching the U.S. and hope their story inspires China’s LGBTQ+ community; Cindy, the only woman willing to appear on camera, who endures severe hardship in the jungle and detention at the border; and Mr. Yu, who lived in a van in Beijing to escape lockdowns before undertaking the journey, later rebuilding his life in Los Angeles.

Deep Affection

The life and work of Chinese bacteriologists. The film is based on the theme of profound psychological changes in a person's character, who, under the influence of many factors of life and situations, has to change his view of the world and science. One of the characters, Professor Huang, is shown in the process of development and formation. His character is vivid and memorable. If at the beginning of the film the young scientists seemed insufficiently serious to Huang, and he regarded all their aspirations to enter science as a sign of their lack of understanding of the complexity of science and their responsibility, by the end of the film Huang already sees in the young graduate students courage, daring, and a desire to achieve an active intrusion of science into life. The theme of friendship and mutual respect among scientists united by a common goal—serving the people—plays an important emotional role in the film.
