In a world full of information, how do you figure out what’s truly important? How do you make sure you learn about the world if there are parts of that world that are hidden from view? Artist and political/social dissident Ai Weiwei (as his name is Chinese, his “surname” is first, and his “first” name is second, got it?) shines a harsh light on the Chinese Government’s corruption, cover-ups and lies, at great personal risk. All the while creating art that is as breathtaking in it’s complexity as is the man himself. Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry takes viewers through the most harrowing years of Ai’s life, showing not only the man but the injustice that lead him to act. It’s a powerful, thought-provoking film that demands to be watched.
