New York Times publishes a front-page article about arguably the most important Chinese documentary filmmaker working today, Zhao Liang and the unique, troubling circumstances he finds himself in as a result of his films. Zhao's most well-known documentary is Petition, and as the New York Times notes, it is "considered by many of its viewers to be a fearless work of art. Shot over 12 years, it shows how the authorities muzzle and brutalize Chinese who, following an age-old tradition, travel to Beijing seeking redress for wrongdoing by local officials."
