Our take
In his characteristically patient style, the unyielding documentarian Wang Bing concentrates on refugees from the Ta’ang minority group, their forced migration from Myanmar to China. Unlike some of his other work, Ta’ang is a more universal take on people living in such extreme circumstances.
