| Blind Shaft 2003 - DVD
The multiple award-winning thriller BLIND SHAFT was banned in its native China because of its scathing critique of the country's rural poverty. A fascinating tale of greed, murder and corrupted innocence, BLIND SHAFT is set in the illegal coal mines of Northern China, and tells the story of Song Jinming and Tang Zhaoyang, two conmen who plot the murder of a 16 year-old peasant boy who they befriend and take to work at the mine. Pretending the boy was a relative, they count on extorting money from the mine owner after the boy's 'accidental' death. But the boy's innocence creates tension and unexpected twists in the pair's murderous scheme.
Written and directed by Li Yang (in his debut feature) and starring Li Yixiang, Wang Shuangbao and Wang Baoqiang, both filmmaker and actors experienced great difficulties whilst filming, often risking their lives at times. An unblinking, though not unsympathetic gaze at the plight of the underclass in today's China, a country which, as one mine owner quips, 'has a shortage of everything but people.'
