Monday, September 21, Foreign Film Series: The Story of Qiu Ju, Wayland Library, 7pm

The Library’s Foreign Film Viewing Group continues to meet and is open to everyone. The next film will be “The Story of Qiu Ju” at 7 p.m. on Monday, September 21.  In this film, an courageous woman in a small village fights against the system in her quest for justice as she seeks redress from the Chinese bureaucracy after the village chief beats and kicks her husband in the groin. As she is frustrated by each level of the hierarchy and travels farther and farther away from the countryside, the viewer is also provided with a look at the changing Chinese society through the verite camera used in most scenes.
