THE MOSUO SISTERS broadcast premiere 
on Sunday, July 13! 
 


THE MOSUO SISTERS will have its broadcast premiere on Global Voices this Sunday, July 13! Two spirited daughters from China's last remaining matrilineal ethnic minority are thrust into the worldwide economic downturn when they lose the only jobs they've ever known. Left with few options, Jua Ma and La Tsuo leave Beijing for home, a remote village in the foothills of the Himalayas. But home is no longer what it was, as growing exposure to the modern world irreparably changes the provocative traditions the Mosuo have built around their belief that marriage is an attack on the family.
 
THE MOSUO SISTERS broadcasts Sunday, July 13 at 1pm EST on PBS, as part of their Global Voices program. Check local listings here

NEW FROM WMM!  MULBERRY CHILD

          "MULBERRY CHILD teaches us the human capacity for courage and endurance, and how the events of the past can haunt our future." 
      Heartland Film Festival
       

Winner of the Spirit of Freedom Documentary category at the Bahamas International Film Festival, MULBERRY CHILD is an adaptation to Jian Ping's book, Mulberry Child: A Memoir of China. Ping's memoir tells the tale of her experiences growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution. Written to bridge a growing emotional and cultural disconnect between Jian and her thoroughly Americanized daughter Lisa, the book recounts their family's journey of survival, from persecution and banishment to political rehabilitation, and its profound effects on Jian. 

Narrated by Jacqueline Bissett, this moving and beautifully shot documentary, artfully intertwines on-camera interviews with dramatic re-enactments, archival footage, and rarely seen photos of China under Mao. MULBERRY CHILD offers students and audiences alike a heartfelt window into and a greater understanding of the recent history of China, the Cultural Revolution and its impact on the Chinese and Chinese American immigrants.
