"Fine Rain: Politics and Folk Songs in China", a documentary by Meera Jaffrey
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
The filmmaker will talk about making her film. Presented by Asian Studies and Music.
In Jaffrey’s powerful documentary, “Fine Rain: Politics and folk songs in China”, she traces the different eras of modern China, from pre-Communism to the Cultural Revolution through archival film, photographs, footage of live performances and interviews with a cast of seven characters. In Shanghai, she meets Professor Wang, who poignantly recalls the brutal Japanese invasion. Through tears, he sings the songs that sustained him. Lady Fen, a retired performer, sings us songs that the refugee children sang to ease the pain of separation from their parents during the Japanese occupation. The proud Dr. Chow whole heartedly believed in the goals of Mao and the Communist Party, and even renounced the values of his own educated family. He speaks of joining a revolutionary choir that sang throughout China. In the end, Dr Chow was betrayed by his own idealism, as the songs he sings take on a bitter infliction.
