WANG Bing has always had the courage to show the hidden side of Chinese society. This time he looks at African migration to Guangzhou and the problematic process of integration faced by migrants who hope to provide a better future for their relatives in Nigeria. Shooting of the documentary was under way on both continents before being brought to a halt by the lockdown.

Pedro Costa’s films explore colonial history and reflect on its relationship with our modern world. He has developed his own pure, original narrative style and has remained constant to it, creating films of profound sincerity.
