709 The Other Shore (2018)

709彼岸

While China’s national strength has tremendously increased over the past decade, its human right situation and freedom have rapidly deteriorated. In 2012, human rights lawyers even figured first in the list of the “New Black Five Categories”. A series of government’s repressive actions, together with the 709 Crackdown in 2015, have severely damaged the rule of law in China, and inevitably changed the fate of human rights defenders. Being forced to live in exile, lawyers and their families have jointly borne the pain of repression no matter if they are inside or outside the country.
