A pregnant peasant woman seeks redress from the Chinese bureaucracy after the village chief kicks her husband in the groin in this comedy of justice.

The Story of Qiu Ju Ratings & Reviews

  • marcobag6d ago
    Very good movie, the story is simple though a tad repetitive, the acting is good, the audio is challenging at times due to its mediocre quality, so it's sometimes a struggle to hear the actors. The most valuable aspect of the film is that it offers a glimpse into China in the early 1990s, and highlights the enormous strides the country has made since then. A worthy watch.
