Country: China
Directed by Xu Xin
This 6 hours running time momumental documentary is a masterpiece of the kind and deserves a lot of praise and admiration. Although its theme is about a fire 'accident' in some provincial Chinese city that took more than 300 lives , mostly of children, through the witnesses of their parents who remained behind we get precious informations and eye opening comments for the whole social structure and order in China, the oppressive bureaucratic nature of the goverment, the school system and the propaganded values that are incorporated to it. In any case the common individual appear too small and deffendless when is trying to stand against an ultra powerful state. Have in mind that 'Karamay 'is among the most heartbreaking films of all time
