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. As she is frustrated by each level of the hierarchy and travels farther and farther away from the countryside the viewer is also provided with a look at the changing Chinese society through the verite camera used in most scenes.

The Story of Qiu Ju Ratings & Reviews

  • marcobagJuly 29, 2025
    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.
