Small happiness: women of a chinesse village

Filmed over several years without any government supervision, One Village in China offers an intimate look at daily life in Long Bow Village. Small Happiness is a powerful exploration of sexual politic. Chinese women spak candidly about foot-binding, the birth-control policy, work, love and marriage. As an American born and raised in China, Director Carma Hinton bridges both cultures. She was able to capture an intimacy and spontaneity that no other films on China have matched.
