Abstract

The September 2010 issue of AEMS News and Reviews explores themes of resilience and resistance through two powerful documentaries. "Journey of a Red Fridge" offers a poignant look into the life of child porters in Nepal, highlighting the physical burdens and limited educational opportunities faced by thousands of children laboring under harsh conditions. In contrast, "To Tell the Truth: The Liu Binyan Story" profiles a courageous Chinese journalist who challenged authoritarianism from within, ultimately facing exile for his principled dissent. Together, these films underscore the human cost of structural injustice—whether rooted in poverty or political repression—while inviting reflection on the ethical complexities of reform and survival.
