Abstract

The October 2010 issue of News and Reviews: Educating About Asia Through Film (#35) offers insightful film reviews and highlights significant events that deepen understanding of contemporary Asian experiences. Featured is 1428, a powerful documentary by Du Haibin portraying the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, capturing survivors’ struggles amid government response and propaganda. The issue also reviews Shipbreakers, a stark portrayal of the hazardous conditions faced by workers in Alang, India’s massive shipbreaking yard, exposing the human cost behind industrial survival. Alongside these reviews, the issue promotes a special lecture on independent Chinese cinema, providing context on China’s evolving film landscape. Together, these selections illuminate critical social and environmental issues in Asia through compelling cinematic storytelling.
