Synopsis
A farmer from rural China with cerebral palsy is not a likely candidate for fame. But when Yu Xiuhua’s poetry went viral online, she was suddenly touted for great success. Brutally visceral, her poetry is born from grappling with disability, a loveless marriage, and her relationship with China’s eroding pastoral interior. This sympathetic doc lays bare the disjunction at the heart of Yu’s life between physical circumstance and inner expression.

Free and open to the public
