About the film:

"The danger is palpable as intrepid young filmmaker Nanfu Wang follows activist Ye Haiyan (a.k.a. Hooligan Sparrow) to protest a sexually abusive elementary school principal in southern China. Marked as enemies of the state, the activists find themselves hounded by government thugs. Filmmaker Wang becomes a target along with Sparrow, as she faces destroyed cameras and intimidation. Yet she bravely and tenaciously keeps shooting, guerrilla-style, with secret recording devices and hidden-camera glasses— exposing a startling number of undercover security agents on the streets. As Wang struggles to protect her subject and her footage, she crafts a riveting portrait of a revolutionary activist and her seemingly impossible battle for human rights. Hooligan Sparrow is an unmissable and searing indictment of government oppression.

In Mandarin and English, with English subtitles."
