This many-layered documentary saga begins in Chicago with a disconnect between Chinese-born Jian Ping and her thoroughly American daughter Lisa, and journeys into the heart of China for a personal history of one family’s trauma and eventual triumph over Mao’s Cultural Revolution. Through colorful reenactments, historical records, and moving interviews, director Cooper (AN UNLIKELY WEAPON) follows the trail of Mulberry Child, Jian’s published memoir of growing up amid the hardship and injustice of the Cultural Revolution, and traces daughter Lisa’s dawning understanding of the power of family love.
