Millennium Director: Rise of a Cinematic Maverick

From bootleg DVD hustler to visionary filmmaker—Wu Yuan crashes into China's film industry at the dawn of the new millennium.

Armed with ambition and zero industry connections, Wu Yuan declares war on convention: "I'm here to make art films! Commercial blockbusters! And commercial art films that do both!" In an era when Chinese cinema stands on the brink of its golden age, one outsider will rewrite the rules of the game.
