Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry
“I consider myself more of a chess player – my opponent makes a move, I make a move. Now I’m waiting for my opponent to make the next move.” It is perhaps lucky for the people of China – and the outside world – that Ai Weiwei is not in fact a chess player, but one of the world’s most celebrated and influential artists – and China’s most outspoken domestic critic. Director Alison Klayman’s extraordinary access takes us deep inside Ai’s world, following him as he supervises a myriad of projects, undertaken by an army of willing artists. Of course Ai Weiwei is used to being followed – when they’re not jailing him, the Chinese authorities are tracking his every move. Weiwei’s inspired art and impassioned politics combine to create lacerating indictments of the way that the country he continues to love is ruled. Social media and the Internet have facilitated his major battleground: transparency, and the right of the people to stand up and be counted as individuals.
