For two decades, China has implemented cutting-edge security and surveillance to monitor its citizens. In this fascinating and chilling documentary, Jialing Zhang (co-director of One Child Nation) immerses us in this daily reality: half a billion cameras pointed at the populace, invasive neighborhood watch programs ("Sharp Eyes"), employees monitored for stress levels, and a "social credit" point system that rewards for community service & penalizes perceived societal infractions. With the assistance of dozens of anonymous locals, Zhang focuses mainly on three courageous women fighting for civil liberties and justice, including independent journalist Sophia Xueqin Huang, one of the first Chinese reporters to investigate #MeToo accusations and subsequently arrested for 'inciting subversion of state power.'
