Abstract

This issue of AEMS News and Reviews highlights powerful documentaries that explore both political resistance and cultural transformation in Asia. "Dishonored" tells the compelling story of Mukhtar Mai, a Pakistani woman who turned personal tragedy into global activism after surviving a brutal gang rape ordered by a tribal council. The film contrasts her international recognition with her ongoing struggle for justice in rural Pakistan. Meanwhile, "China: The Empire of Art?" and "From Jean-Paul Sartre to Teresa Teng: Cantonese Contemporary Art in the 1980s" examine the evolution of Chinese contemporary art. These films trace the movement's roots in post-Mao reforms and its rise to global prominence, offering insight into the political and cultural forces that shaped artistic expression in both Mainland China and Cantonese regions.
