Liao Yibai was born into a top-secret Chinese missile factory during the Cold War, where accidental explosions killed his classmates and they were trained to hate their mysterious enemy- America. In this short documentary, we follow Yibai, the accomplished painter and sculptor, as he prepares for his first solo show in America, and hear surreal childhood memories that inspired the work: a first encounter with a hamburger, tools flying from the sky, and a boy’s imagination of Chairman Mao’s office. But the heart of the film begs the question that is more relevant today than ever: when political folly and fear set the wheels in motion towards war, can they be stopped? |
