The voices of the 900 million Chinese villagers might be low, but when they point their cameras to their fellow villagers and force you to discard your preconceptions and stereotypes with their stories, you cannot fail to recognize the power of documentary films in its most plain and coarse form. This documentary film tells the story of how ten Chinese villagers become DV story tellers of their home villages in this unprecedented DV project.
