Cui Jian: Rocking China

This documentary delves into the life of Cui Jian, a pivotal figure in China's rock music scene. Banned from large performances in Beijing for over a decade, Cui's return in 2005 marked a significant moment in his career. The film documents his experiences in three cities: Wuhan, Inner Mongolia, and Beijing, offering insights into his relationship with fans and his crew.

"Cui Jian: Rocking China" also reflects on the broader context of political expression in China, as Cui's music has often resonated with emerging democratic voices. The documentary serves as a retrospective of his work leading up to the release of his new album, "Give You Color," after a six-year hiatus. It encapsulates the essence of an artist who has maintained an outlaw status in the hearts of many, despite his reluctance to align with specific political movements.
