The narrative film, which recounts the true story of a man who murdered six Shanghai policemen after suffering police beatings as punishment for riding an unlicensed bicycle, is a story of brutality, unlawful detentions, and the state of justice in today’s China. The film premiered recently at the Jeonju International Film Festival in South Korea.
