On the Rim of the Sky

  • Post category:.

Part of the 2015 Hot Docs documentary film festival, this is lovely (scenically and subject wise) story, set in a village (only recently — in 2004 — the beneficiary of electricity or accessibility to non-villagers) on the edge of a cliff in Sichuan province in China, about the clash of generations.  Young, university volunteer teacher from cosmopolitan China meets long-serving, old-fashioned village teacher.  Village conflict ensues with the viewer along for the ride.  (Subtitled.)
