Ai Wei Wei: Never Sorry

documentary

Pretty inspiring piece on the Chinese artist/activist who took on the might of the 'communist' government in Beijing and won...for a while.

We didn't see enough of his art to judge it properly but we did see an extraordinary display of courage and sheer chutzpah in the many filmed confrontations he had with petty authorities who obviously weren't used to being told no. I have no doubt if he continues his ways he will be crushed under the weight of the state but it still was inspirational watching this guy fighting back.

A modern day hero.
